    I'm so happy I'm off work this week - would NOT have wanted to leave my nice snuggly house today to go out into the horrible cold wet slushy snowy nastiness outside!

    Although maybe it's only me that thinks it's horrible weather round here, we've already had two ice cream vans come round :eek:

    Well just wanted to say thank you Jemma and everyone on here. Redid my maths today and thanks to the motivation you guys have given my original debt free date of doing nothing has moved from Sep 2015 to November 2013.

    So even if I had a melt down tomorrow I've taken a big chunk off my debts. Cheers guys for all the help and inspiration

    Wow that is incredible! :D Doesn't it make you feel so good knowing you are tackling the debts and making a difference. Might not feel like it sometimes, but we are all making a dent!

    Good luck Psycho!!! LEt us know how it goes xxx

    Camuk81, sometimes I feel as though I've been very selfish as I created this challenge to enable me to to achieve my own goal of being debt free. Posts like yours really make me feel truly humble. They remind me of the difference that this thread has made to the lives for so many people without whom I could not have got as far on my own debt journey so it is me who should be thanking all of you. That is a fantastic achievement Camuk81 and we are all soooo proud of you xxx
