    See what you've done now moozie! :rolleyes: ;)

    You two should come post in the arms! That way you hijack no-ones thread and get to talk rubbish like you normally do! :p :rotfl:

    Sounds like a plan!! :beer:

    Think I need an introduction tho, bit shy ;):o

    Anyway, to put the thread back on track a bit, thank you to everyone for your comments, support etc! Its nice to have a bit of feedback, especially when its positive! So thank you :D

    Hi Kath - I thought I'd add that I think you've got a brilliant mental attitude too and good luck with your student loan management :)

    ps As I am <gasp> even older than Moozie, I now feel sort of ancient! ;)

    Thanks Palescene :)
    I think I might dig out my student loan info and try to get an up to date total, then I can put it and my savings in my sig. Bit daunting to have that info on show but everyone else does so I shouldn't worry should I?!

    I think if it would work for your motivation go for it :)

    Hey Kathfisch

    Good to see you again. I am sorry for totally hijacking the thread last night - and I hadn't had any alcohol either! I blame southerscouser :p

    It is a bit daunting to have private information on show but you have already opened up a great deal and most people on here are supportive and understanding. I think it would be good to have those figures on your signature as it will give you more of a perspective but the final decision is, of course, yours and we will be fine with that :)

    PS LookingAhead and PaleScene - age is only a number, right? ;)

    I'm happy with my number, it's modest really :)

    I would also like to blame SouthernScouser if that's not too forward ;)

    I'm not brave enough yet but I'm building up to it!

    If it makes you uncomfortable then don't worry, if it helps you then go for it!

    No no, go ahead and blame him freely ;) especially when he's not here :rotfl:

    Don't worry bout hijacking moozie, was great fun and laughs :rotfl: Besides, I'm getting it back on track again now!! Did you have a trip to the arms in the end? I might venture over but am a bit nervous :o;)

    Moozie, palescene, looking ahead et al... "age is just a convenient way for society to measure time". Not sure where I saw that but think its quite nice.

    Thanks for your support all, I will definitely put my totals in my sig as soon as I can figure out what they are!! Will be one of my goals for next week, get out student loan paperwork and do the sums. I have a statement as of the end of my second year and payment details for this year so (barring a bit of interest) I should be able to figure it out. Will only receive my next statement in Oct or something silly!

    Ozzyfan, its a matter of personal preference isn't it and I think you should only put it all in your sig if you're happy with it. If you do, though, I think it is a great motivator as palescene says.
