    Thanks. My target although I know it won't be cleared is £9500. I'm starting clear out at home today, i will update as often as I can to keep motivated.
    Do I include what I pay off this each month as normal and then the extras??

    I include every payment made, including all regular direct debits and payments but it's up to you really :)
