    Thanks!

    As of the first I can pay my brother back and that just leaves the two biggies! So far the biggest debt I paid off was 2.5k and I am not sure how to motivate myself to paying off 4.2k and 153.5k. Plus getting some savings and doing a few things to my flat. Life is soooo complicated!

    Oh yes! I will agree with that!

    I think everything in moderation. A bit of debtbusting and a bit of enjoying things. That way the journey will be easier!

    I need to get the debts cleared so I am still doing things on a budget, I need to work out what to do about a holiday this year as OH wants to go away. I have mislaid my passport so it will be in this country, but he won't go camping so need to find somewhere nice but affordable- yikes!

    Still it will be nice to have some savings.

    Yep really nice.

    I decided that I want to make the most of things so will pay off my debts while saving for my holiday. You can get some really nice holidays in the UK, have you thought about hiring a cottage somewhere?

    Yes but haven't looked into it yet. I doubt it will be very cheap though! I wouldn't mind going without a proper holiday this year but it isn't fair on my OH.

    No and it is always nice to get away and enjoy yourself.
