    You have Martined me :eek:

    Slightly regretting it now - lol

    ETA: is it odd that I am ridiculously excited by the numbers... half way through this challenge, half way through my debt and breaking all three £k barriers all in one month, I honestly, really can barely contain myself.

    No, not odd at all!

    You are sounding really motivated. I am back to feeling motivated about getting rid of my debts as well! Can't wait to have lots of spare cash.

    :hello:Hi PAID aka thread killer!

    Maybe everyone is off dreaming about what it'll be like to be debt free! I can safely say its fab but still can't bring myself to spend money just keep putting in the bank hoping one day soon to splurge on a dream home and have a mortgage debt to start blitzing.

    Maybe I'm a masochist for debt busting?! :rotfl:

    Shhhh don't put thoughts like that in my head.

    I keep getting longings to do random things like buy a new car / really expensive handbag / hols to Oz. I'm just about fighting them off. I do use the demotivator quite a lot :rotfl:

    (Although a Pandora bracelet for my birthday has lead to far too many "I just need one more charm to make it look alright!")
