    I wish I could say that I had worked really hard like Dinah! :o

    But I was at my Dad's for a meal last night and he mentioned that they were gonna have to cut back a lot when my stepmum goes on maternity leave. So I said...
    Me: You know that money you pay into my account every month? You can have that, it's only sitting in an ISA.
    Dad: Why haven't you spent it?
    Me: Cuz you said it was for fees, and they're at 0% so it's pointless paying them off.
    Dad: It wasn't for fees, it was for living on!

    So the money is mine to spend as I wish! They thought I had been spending it on food and going out and stuff. But they were chuffed I had managed to save it.

    So yeah, not a great achievement but debt-free all the same! My big challenge is to save for a house deposit now. :)

    Yay! Great news Zig! What a good Daddy you have! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
