    So I in the next few days I will be sorting out our finances when hubby and I get the chance to sit down properly together and work out exactly where we are at. I am very lucky that hubby is supportive of my challenges and we work well as a team. So fingers crossed we can be very successful!

    Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a successful year!:beer:

    Hi there. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

    I've paid another £300 off, bringing my total to £500/£10,200=4.90% paid. I'm behind on the monthly target but seeing as the month hasn't started yet I'm not too worried, for now. I'm also hoping to save up £20k for a mortgage deposit, the same as other people on here.

    All the best for the new year. Hope 2015 is a happy, successful and generally a good year for everyone. Xx

    A vision without a plan is just a dream.

    A few more payments to go, but a good start to the month thanks to a Christmas present.
  • Hello Everyone. I'm off.
    I counted my coin pot mainly 1ps but £42 in all and I had a cheque for £48 so £90 off please Pablo. New coin pot starting tomorrow but the rule is nothing bigger than 20p unless it's roadkill. January is always a bad month for me so good to get something off now.

    Evening everyone.

    Another payment from me today. My up to date figure is...

    #36 102.00/5084.82 = 2.00%

    I may have a couple of larger payments tomorrow but thought I would update in case it doesn't happen.

    I hope you all had a great Christmas.:santa2:
