    You should be excited.

    £10,000 in a year is an amazing achievement.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    £10k! :eek:

    To think what I could have spent that money on! :doh:

    But you know what I don't really feel like I've deprived myself of anything. OK I haven't had a holiday this year which in previous years I always did but that aside! :confused:

    Maybe I would have bought more clothes than I have, well more expensive clothes than I have, but other than that I can't fathom where I would have spent it!

    Just goes to show I really did p!ss it up the wall getting into debt! :wall:

    You're doing great.

    I wish I had even the slightest hope of clearing £10,000 in a year :rolleyes:

    Not far off a third indeed! :T As your resident statistician (!) I will be looking out for when you reach that target! :rotfl:

    No, nothing about the job yet... think that probably means its a no but don't know for sure! I won't be devastated though... there are other jobs I want to apply for that would be just as good if not better! Will update my thread when I hear. :)
