    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    Dinner was perfectly acceptable! Perhaps a little too much pasta in there but that can easily be sorted next time. I will def be doing it again!

    Yes, she is amazing - and what's more, she cleans up after herself too!

    I have just done a lightspeed survey - have about £5 sat there at the moment, but would like to leave it a little longer before withdrawing it. There is also about £50 more mystery shopping money on its way - sadly most of the "biggies" I have done recently have missed the cut off points, so they will be arriving next month instead, but at least I should be able to colour in another square in the next day or so!

    lilmissmup - thanks! But it is only because of this site that I have got so far!! And I could do more - just think how good it would be if I was disciplined and organised!!

    hi hypno
    Can't remember whether I have said but well done on breaking the 20k this early in the year. You must be so chuffed. I would go back and check whether I have congratulated before, but am feeling really lazy today, having still not got over my first new zealand head cold (joy, and I mean it is spring here for heavens sake should have got one before now!!!)

    And if your student wants to study in nz then she can stay here if she makes choccy cake (though that is of course a joke with nz immigration rules...)

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
