A new DFW - the lightbulb moment

Hiya

I've been lurking on these boards for some time and I've been sooooo impressed by the level of support given here and the dedication in which you guys are clearing your debts.

Its now my lightbulb moment !!!

I've decided that with the way things are at the moment (economically in the world), I want to face up to my debts (even though they are not as big as they have been in the past) and get them cleared. I can then work on paying the mortgage off earlier.

Sitting exams in a couple of weeks, so concentrating on the revision; but I'm still going to gather all my details together so that once the exams are over, I can do an SOA. Its a first step and I'm looking forwards to it.
