    My POA for today, seeing as I have a day off I may as well do something productive:

    1) Put on load of washing #1
    2) Hang up all clean clothes and put away all linens etc etc
    3) Tidy EVERYWHERE
    4) Wash the floors
    5) Give the bathroom a quick once over
    6) Go through cupboards for stuff for charity shop
    7) Take out rubbish and recycling
    8) take stuff to the charity shop
    9) get clothes ready for work tomorrow
    10) do face mask, wax BL and have long soak in the bath
    11) Ironing
    12) Washing up (and of course my new thing, 'shining'* my sink)
    13) do my shredding
    14) do my filing
    15) arrange to go for a drink with guy that contacted me about a job

    *It doesn't actually shine because it is one of those weird early 90s white ones with a slightly textured surface so is always dull and generally a bit stained no matter how hard I clean it or what I clean it with.

    Phew - I am going to be a busy lady!

    Tirl - you could just throw money at the loan and only check the impact every 3 or 6 months, that way you have a lovely surprise and something to look forward to, you can set yourself targets and then there will be a big holding breath style moment when you do check to see whether you have hit your target or not

    PAID you really are so funny with the sink. You crack me up. Good luck with your POA today!

    TooMuch - hope you are feeling okay. It sounds nasty.

    Thanks CMD.

    Seems like the sole purpose of my life atm is pay this debt off. This time, thanks to some good luck, I've manage to pay over double what I normally would and it's been very rewarding. Have updated my sig now. When this payment has gone through in Finland, I will write to them to ask how much is the interest I'm still owing. Can't wait till next year, when the capital will finally start going down as well. DFD date has now jumped to February 2012 and to get it to my 33rd birthday I only need to cut another 3 months.
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!

    Wait until you get it under the 10k. There will be no stopping you then!

    LOL - it is https://www.flylady.net, she has clearly shorted her !!!!!! out and helped lots of others get to grips with theirs so am trying to take her theory and apply it to my own chaotic world, the end of every item on her website says 'now shine your sink'

    hmm - have been working really hard but can only cross off taking out the rubbish and recycling since my last post - grrr, must stopp being busy on things that aren't on my POA. I did find some more bits for the charity shop though so not all bad.
