    Hi Gwen , that's a great days worth of achievements :T I'm sure karma will be rewarding you for your good deed as well :A.

    Have you arranged to meet your fish for a drink yet ? I reckon it's good to just meet them asap & then if they're not up to scratch, you can ruthlessly move on to the next one , leaving them gasping at your fabulousness :D

    Hello,

    anyone else feeling a bit monday tonight? I finally got my CCs under £5,000 - only 4 weeks after my target date :o. However, that's not really an accurate figure because I'm not counting the 0 % card as a debt :rolleyes:.

    I am looking forward to the hol & do realise just how lucky I am, but there's a part of me that doesnt want to spend much while we're away & would really like September to hurry up so I can back on with the debt busting for real :confused: must be mad .

    Well done Lula!!! That's fab. So it's a little later, sometimes life gets in the way (I should know at the moment). Its still a step in the right direction and a milestone to celebrate. I can't wait till I can start celebrating milestones.

    Gwenx
