Hi all! I haven't been on here for ages. Sorry for my absence. I've just crossed the £4000 mark for my Emergency Fund which is a third of my £12000 target. Two more years (but hopefully sooner) and we can start the focused intensity on paying off the mortgage early."There is Life AFTER DEBT."LBM 2009 Total Debt £49046.24 Debt Free as of 27/08/20150

Another small milestone for me...my Christmas savings for 2016 is just over £250. Saving £2 a day takes away all the stress worrying how we will pay for everything;)

I am now down into 3 figures, £317 to be more precise. I still have, as yet, an unkown amount of interest and fees to pay back to my folks, but to get the capital borrowed down this close to zero is a good feeling.LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

Just catching up on the milestones people have passed. Well done all!
Mine was dipping under the £1500 mark last month although I'm pushing to get down to £1400 before my next payment Via PADs as much as I can.
