  • Oh I love a spreadsheet!

    Once you holiday is done you can just throw as much as you can to the debt & you are determined so you will defo do it.

    I have a wee Gryffindor book I bought at Harry Potter World & it has all my bills in it & I would be lost without it!!!

    I write everything down in there.

    I will hopefully be following you into debt freedom by December 2016, seems like forever away.

    Once I come back I might not have as much due to the "lovely" HMRC lowering my tax credits by 200. But will see what I can do. I will be better off from August and my son starting school :D x

    At the moment it looks like I'll be debt free by July/August 2016 but ideally I'm trying to aim for May 2016 as it's my birthday that month and it would be so fab to have it all paid off by my 32nd birthday :D

    We will aim Miss Tara to be debt free same time together next year :D It can be achievable so lets do this :D!!

    Anyway 3 weeks until payday and 15 days until tax credits come in. I have the nursery write a lovely letter of confirmation what I pay them for HMRC. I will photocopy this and send this to them. Pains in backside sometimes lol!

    Really want payday so I can just pay some more off.... how sad is my life haha :) updating the signature will make my day x
