Hello there!!
Just thought I would pop on with an update as things seem to be changing fast at the moment. We have just been on holiday so have had serious DFW withdrawal so have spent this evening going through my finances with a fine tooth comb and have managed to update my snowball etc. which is telling me 19 months til the big debt free date!!!!!!!
Hubby passed his bus driving test so he is now on a permanent contract and higher wages, with another increase due in 3 months after his probationary period. He has also been paid holiday pay which we were not sure whether he would get or not, so we have now got enough to pay of the penultimate credit card - leaving just capital one to pay with a balance of £757. After capital one the rest of the debt is all 0% :T . I am so chuffed. I am just working on a revised SoA at the moment and when I have it sorted I may pop it back up on here and see how you all think I am doing. I really want to tip our debt free date into 2008 if possible, just so I can say we will be debt free next year!
I love DFW!!!!!!!!

Excellent news all round - I am sure you will get that 2008 DFD pretty quickly! I am trying to get mine to 2009 (currently march 2010) so I can say I will be debt free the year after next!
