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 2015Next savings goals:£5k emergency fund£4k holiday of a lifetime fund0

Hi again!
My natwest loan has less than 8K remaining, I'm thrilled so will celebrate with a virgin mojito as it's so early in the day :rotfl:Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭0 -
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
