    Ooo that looks good MM. :j

    I know how you feel about being stuck though. However i have found if i try not to think about it too much (i.e stare at my spreadsheet for hours on end :rotfl: ) i feel better about it all.

    I am still on track to be interest paying debt free by the end of September/beginning of October. Any extra money in the meantime (i.e. Quidco, surveys etc.) will mean it may be a month closer.

    Im on target to pay my mum off by the end of May 2009, and start saving from there.

    My savings *should* be around £7,200 by March 2010 which is when my CCJ ends and i can start looking at getting a house :D

    Thanks MM. Its made me feel better to be able to look at it like that, so i know roughly when i will be debt free, when i can start saving, when to start looking at houses etc.

    :beer:

    ooo good luck with the bingo bonus :D

    Pair of impatient girlies arent we! :p

    I was even thinking this morning about when i hand my notice in at my current flat to make sure it runs at least a week over where i get the new house, so i can move all my stuff, and redecorate the flat whilst its empty. Then i was thinking about moving all my stuff, would i need to rent a van...

    I have 20 months to go...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
