Just put mine in on Snowball - and it is saying February 2016. I know that will not be totally accurate, as I often have one-off bills like vets, which will be added onto my interest-free credit card, but I do have more stuff to sell which will help. Looks like 2016 will definitely be my DF Year!!!DEBT FREE IN SEPTEMBER 2022, after 33 years of debt!
Now I concentrate on building my £6000 Emergency Fund

Just at the start of a very long road here, but I so want to be free from debt and enjoy the good wage I get from a job I love
