    blimey if christmas 2011 is possible then you put me to shame. I'm aiming for Sept 2011 to finish paying off my debts and i'm down to £18k now. It's take me 4 years to clear off the other £30k

    Lemon Tree...How are you? Haven't seen you in ages (you know what I mean!)

    Herewego...I am loving your thread. It knackers me reading it.

    redmadcurls...have to read your diary as I reckon it would be a hoot.

    .

    You get like that, can't switch off as all you think about is money and paying it off....

    I paid £32.32 into the scalifax. Was armed with loose change until I went to buy diesel on route and the lady in the garage asked for the loose change, So my perverse pleasure at being awkward with scalifax was short lived as all I paid in small change was the 32p. Still hoping for the day when I go in with loads of change and annoy them..

    OMG yes - bored out of my ebaying mind - how about you.

    I am sorry you lost all your working out. But please dont be so hard on yourself about clearing debt uber quick. Maybe you should start saving for that holiday, just a little aside since it means so much to you. I have had too many holidays in recent years, which may explain etc etc. There is no need to thrash yourself Herewego. You are doing fantastically well in such a short time and you should be very proud of your achievements not pasting yourself.
