    TCB is Topcashback - definitely worth a gander if you don't already use it!!
    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 😭

    Missed the thread for the last few years but I'm back! :rotfl:

    After moving house, having a baby, changing jobs I've got a total of £12,700 to work on in 2018 :eek: Most likely an impossible task but if it's smaller for this time next year than it is now I'll be happy so I need to get cracking :D

    Merry Christmas everybody anyway and I'll be back in a few days :xmassign:
