    :beer: Well done Chortle. As a fairly new DFW you are an inspiration. I hope I can keep my debt busting up to your standard! Sorry to hear about your MS though.

    Well done, and yes last time I looked 9 was still a single figure!!

    Tell me about it :o I actually feel kinda bad, as I know so many people on here are paying similar amounts off, but looking at debt-free dates up to 10 years away!

    I have been lucky (:rolleyes:) in that I have had a couple of insurance payouts in the last 2 years, following my diagnosis with MS. I've thrown them all at the debt 100%, when really I should have been using them to fund adaptations and equipment to help with my disabilities. I've just had to put up with things being much more difficult than they could be, so I could be debt-free sooner! I'll get it all eventually though - once I am debt-free! *dreams about a shiny new kitchen thats disabled friendly, and not a death trap :rotfl:*
