    December this year, three more payday to go! :) was over six grand in debt at the end of 2013, really happy to be almost at the end of a long horrible road. Light at the end of the tunnel looms ever closer!! Cleared another debt today, two more to go (both of which I've been bringing down this year). I can't wait!!

    I'm looking at DFD of 1/5/2018 my 33rd birthday! My debt started at £20k+, it's now just over £8k, I'm getting there but it still feels a long way away.
