    Okay I wasn't around last week due to a migraine (which lasted from Wednesday until Friday :mad:), then I wasn't around over the weekend due to being treated to meals out by Dr Dragon (it was my birthday :beer:), but there has been some nice debt busting happening and even with some new amounts to the starting total (hello baileydog99! and Skaps - starting total now amended :p) we have still got over 5% paid off already :T
