*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!

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!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -

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'£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
