Definately!!! A week and a half off at xmas...can't wait!!!

**Amy**

I cant wait until December. I have a week off from 11th – 17th December, then Thursday, Friday and Monday at work and then I’m off until 2nd January. Hurrah!

moneymabel

wow-thats brill!!! i'm working the 22nd and am then off until the 2nd Jan,was going to book the friday off as well but then i thought going back one day and then having the weekend is a nice way to drag myself gradually back to work!!

Just worked out i should have at least one thouand pounds saved by the end of this year!! not bad seeing my original debtfree by 2009 challenge was just to be debt free!!

**Amy**

I love holidays! Im going to see my mum in the first week, we are going over for my nephews birthday, so it should be nice.

Blimey MM thats brilliant. You will be over 1/5 of the way to getting your Mini! And to think you were aiming to be debt free, but you have that and £1K savings. :j

moneymabel

I know! i cant really believe it!! I think everyone has acheived so much more than they wanted to originally, i mean-look at your lack of debt now!!!

**Amy**

Its been great. Thank you! If you had told me this time last year that I would be able to clear my CC in such a short time I wouldnt of believed you.

Just think, if i had done it when i thought about it (September 07) I would be debt free completly now! BUT then again, i probably wouldnt of had the help and support from here.

moneymabel

god we are brilliant lmao!!!
