    Thank you :rotfl:My son was 4 in September but we can't have another at the moment because of our outgoings :( so that is more than enough incentive to crack this!!

    Busy day today, I've been on a course, a very depressing course! But I didn't go shopping on the way home to cheer myself up, which is a bonus! :j

    Hello Everybody :wave:

    I hope you don't mind me joining. I too want to be debt free by December 2015.

    I have worked out that we need to pay £673 PER MONTH (incl minimum payments) to clear our debts in the next three years. If we pay more...we get debt free sooner.

    Good luck everybody; the AvaQuaver household will struggle a bit this month to deliver overpayments...due to Christmas but I am Ebaying like mad so even a few extra pounds can come off the total.

    I am looking forward to the Debt Free Journey with you all.:T

    Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    You seem to have it all planned out with your monthly payments so we will definately be debt free in 2015!!
