    as it stands we've paid just short of £4200 off in a year... not much more to go now! :D

    Is there a breakdown, like how much was extra income from quidco, how much from Ste learning to drive and getting a better job, how much from grocery cut backs, Ste starving at lunch time (his cut backs were big in that area) etc...

    Plus you haven't added in that you did manage to buy a new freezer, books/toys for the kids, fridge, sofas, telly, baby, games console(s) without racking up further debt... and raised £500+ for charity...
