2 and a half years early.
Been eating soup and cereal for about 18 months.
Only (HAHAHAH! Only...) got about £3.5k on interest free credit cards to go.
So £425 split two ways is an extra £212.50 a month to put against each card. Debt free by November, I reckon
Keep up the good work everyone, it can be done! Lost count of the amount of times I thought I couldn't, but one mill stone down, 2 to go.

Wow! Thanks you lovely, lovely people! There's prolly a better way to do this, but this is the only way I know, so....
Greensalad - the next and only other loan I'm gonna get is a mortgage (although - 32, single male, gonna be a while I think!), so that also covers the going forward plans...plus paying the cards off. Lesson learned.
Parsniphead - I got myself the biggest mix grill in my local last night. Heaven. That's how it feels!
Faithcecilia - head down already, see above re mixed grill - BIG reward in Dave town at the mo.
Wishus - thank you very much. Happy Dave!
Lozzy81 - gutted that I let it get this bad - but very proud - over half way to being 100% debt free!
Andyfromotley - you're too right, it's all about the saves.
Bored - Get out of my head...! :-) How weird is that? Congrats on your success as well, good luck with the cards.
Much love to all, thanks for the kind words!
