    Getting excited with 2 more updates to go. I have £650 to be on target by 12/12/12 which is my monthly updates so starting to feel a bit real, i honestly never though when Financial Bliss kindly started the challenge back in start of 09 i would be in this situation, this challenge and logging on and seeing like minded peeps has genuinely kept me motivated as well as FB keeping us updated on a quarterly basis. Well done to all we can do this and even if we dont reach our targets its a step nearer however much we paid off !!!
    £14, 500 to go
