    That is fab!! Just think of the interest you've saved (go on how much did you save by paying it off now!)

    Over a grand in interest and about £1500 PPI refund...

    Well done em, you've done really well. You have some savings for your end of contract, so that's something, and now you have one less outgoing. Well done you.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    Sammy,

    b/f and I have spent afternoon building futon that was threatening to blow the budget...it is SOOO much nicer than anything I could have bought for £50..or even a few hundred, it's wood, solid, classic! (and needs waxing etc..)

    LOL Its quite satisfying isn't it. I spent last week dying plain white curtains that I bought from Ikea bright pink. Then I folded them in half and stitched them and so for £12 I had a lovely pair of funky curtains for my daughters room. Much better than the expensive horrible ones I bought from Next on Credit. I keep popping into the room to look at them. Never been much of a sewer so I do hope nobody notices I stitched them with black cotton.
