Well luckily for me the ebay sales last night went well! Have another £100 to transfer ready for the card! I am gonna get that card down soon...yay!

Then will be down to the two main large cards. I reckon the card over payments will start slowing down very soon as have a lot of things to budget for, but at least I am continuing on and not spending like a crazy woman! All I can do is try my very best at getting the debt down. Will be easier to manage with the two cards and the loan, which will be gone in April 2010...that's a huge £175 a month saved and is just over a year away!

You still amaze me how well you are doing :T April 2010 really is not that long at all, with the rest of this year to get the 2 biggies lower too you are going to be a fantastic position next year.

Have you got any plans for when you are debt free, will it be saving, having more of a life or buying your own property or have you no idea yet?

You still make me feel guilty as I keep promising to list on ebay but I spend my life reading about people like you who have actually listed instead hopeless I am :rotfl:

Thanks KM! I can't believe that I have paid off so much in the past year. Yes it has been bloody tough going, but so worth it to see the debt coming down. Yep April next year will be the last loan payment, then the £175 will go to the card each month. Hopefully won't be too long after that till I get sorted for good! I need to do another budget soon and do the snowball to work out my DFD!

Mmmmm dunno about plans! All I know is the first month I am gonna treat myself with the money I would normally pay out towards debt, then save for a holiday as me and DD have never had a proper one! After that, probably saving for a nice new home, but also trying to budget in for a bit of a life too...I hope? I have never had a time when I haven't been paying debt, well not as long as I can remember, so I won't know what it is like to have wages but no debt!

Get on the ol' fleabay! I have flogged a few bits recently for more than I pad for them result!
