  • I've just brought my DFD forward to September next year, that'll be everything including the car :j

    So I don't have to cancel the HP on it :j

    This does depend on increasing my DMP payments to £1000 a month in January, and then £2000 a month in March when I get a massive payrise.

    So the DMP will be complete by Jun, and then the £2000 will go into savings to pay off my car in one go in September :j

    I still need to make extras though, so I can have some fun and make sure I stick to my budget as that is my downfall. :rotfl:

    I am very impressed at how commited everybody seems to debt busting! I have been paying mine off for 4 years now and am not half way yet. However, I have made the conscious decision to still 'have a life' so always knew that my progress would be slow :p
