    Two milestones for me this month:

    1. We are now in single figures for months until we are debt-free, only 9 months left:j

    2. Our overdraft is finally paid back...all £2,200 plus interest

    9 months and 9 debts left;)

    I think I will have a Double Vodka and Diet Coke:)

    A new milestone for me...This month I have managed to set up a regular overpayment on my mortgage of £55 a month, which I intend to keep up. If the Natwest calculator is correct and interest doesn't rocket, this will cut 5 years off my term and save me a LOT of interest!
    Debt free on 2nd January 2015
    Next savings goals:
    £5k emergency fund
    £4k holiday of a lifetime fund

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I paid off my car loan yesterday, a whole 13 months earlier than originally expected!


    And I am down to having a balance on a single credit card (0%) which I will be transferring what I would be overpaying into a savings account to earn a couple of pennies and then pay it off before the 0% ends


    I think a wee screwdriver cocktail is required
