I haven't changed my sig for a while so I thought I'd update it with my new figures as I've been trying (some say I always am) really hard lately. AQA has been a dream for cash so far long may it continue, I had a feeling it might be especially as it took so long to get in. Anyways, I just re-snowballed (is that a word?) and I've managed to take 5 months off my DF date in the last month and a half and I'm really chufffed about it, as it's now down to Jan 2009 I'm almost within a year and i can smell the finish line approaching which is a great moivator to me.
My aim is to be deb free way before that though as I intend to uses my AQA earnings to pay off the rest of my overdraft by Christmas which would leave me with one debt only, my car loan which although it's still huge, I don't begrudge as the car has never gone wrong and got me out of a very sticky sitution with my old car. From January on, I'm hoping to throw anything and everything at the car loan and I'm going for August 2008 to be DF, which although optimistic gives me something to aim at and is feasible. Well that's what's happening with me anyways, hows veryone else today?
