    It's my first day here but have been lurking for a long time and been in debt since I was a teenager (i'm nearly 40 now) but this year I've really made an effort and seen the results.

    Have cleared about £6k which makes the team total

  • Hi Everyone,

    It's been a couple of months or so since I posted here but I was doing some research and thought i'd wander back onto the boards.

    Great thread. I'd like to add £10,000 to the total.
