    Thank you everyone.

    I am not sure I can face seeing my mortgage figures in my signature lol. I am going to sit down and do a new SOA today and work out a savings target so I will have that in my signature.

    I got a Vauxhall Astra VXR and its soooooooooooo nice, I am a little bit in love :o

    I like how you now have the debt free line in your sig - are you going to remove the old debt totals, or leave them in for posterity?
  • You need to put yourself up on the debt free roll of honour Doodles!

    I don't think I can remove it quite yet as it makes me a little emotional seeing how much I paid off all on my own since last October.
