    Hey starnac I read your post a few times over - thinking you were saying you had paid that much off by yourself! We have done well... I would have thought it would be more tho - perhaps you are not counting enough for doodledoo!

    Hiya all!

    Well done everyone on paying debts off. I think that's an admirable figure.:T:beer:

    I'm just waiting for the balance transfer to come through so I can pay some of the loan off and then work out how long I'm going to pay it off on reduced payments. Then I'll have to work out my sig again with DFD and all.
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!
