OK here goes, look forward to the future

Need to tackle the debt quickly, 2 down 2 to go! Debt was £27000 in February, down to under £16000, so going pretty well, thanks to support at home!

Next is the Barclaycard loan, saving £300 a month between me and the wife to pay off probably around next May

Then hit the big one!
