All welcome to Ye Olde Milestone Inn! The bar is open!

:beer: :beer: :beer:

Share your milestones here, and let's all raise a virtual (or real, your call, the landlady takes no responsibility for any resulting real life drunkenness) glass to each others success.

To start us off *tings spoon on side of glass to quiet down rowdy DFW crowd of revellers* my debts have this month ducked under £10,000

*downs pint of martini and puts glass on head, staggering slightly*

    I have paid off Newday! I also have enough to replace my old cooker! TBH - it was guzzling so much electricity I reckon it will save money to have the new one! It had one setting - full on and even this meant a normal casserole took over 3 hours to cook! I planned for it and used some of job number 3 earnings to pay for it.

    Milestone thread is fab idea btw.

    I'm in! I'll raise a large glass of rose to everyone and this month I declare that I am now #2 paydays away from clearing one of my credit cards, then I will only be left with one CC! :D
