Thanks @shell16! I think if I can achieve the goal I'll be really happy, but if not, at least I'll be close, and it's not so discouraging than if I'm chasing a target that I know I'll never reach. I feel more motivated now that it's more realistic 🤗.
I'm concentrating on savings and sinking funds this year so that I don't have to rely on any form of credit.

Made a payment today that brings the end date of final loan to May 24. Need circa 160 a month to bring to end Dec 2023 that should be doable from new tax year as I get a revision on my code as currently overpaying for a prior year under payment.
if energy prices also continue downwards as forecast I should reduce that bill by 50 a month from June when that cap price is clearer.
Feeling positive albeit never get to far ahead as life knows how to bring you straight back down again.Challenges
