    OVER £1M - WOO HOO - GO DFW GO GO GO GO GO!

    That's brilliant news and wonderful to hear - I want to put this in the weekly email.


    Can anyone help -

    How many people make up that £1,000,000 and what's the biggest single repay?

    I think the wonderful Hypno is the biggest repay.

    No, I know that Mel did a little more than I did.....and I am sure there are one or two others who paid off more than £20k too.....

    It appears that Hypno was piped at the post by Smoggy with an amazing 34k.


    The magic million ~By my calculations this was achieved by 137 peeps but I am happy to stand corrected:rotfl:

    In 2009 I reduced my total non-mortgage debt by £4866.59 (I hope to do much better in 2010!) which I think takes the running total to:
