    Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    This year I've been spending £100-200 a month on going out to pubs/restaurants, so I need to get that figure down!

    I'm thinking about doing Dry January (no booze for a month) - this will be a major challenge for me but I'll save lots of money that I can then send to the credit card.
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D
    Emergency Fund: £350/£1000
