    I had a bit of a chat with the OH last night and he has promised that once I am debt free we will start saving for a ski apartment in Morzine.

    The plan is to save a £30k deposit between us over 2 years and then get a mortgage for the rest.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about having a mortgage, as I am so adamant that I never want to borrow a penny from anyone ever again. However, if it enables us to fullfil our dream and actually have something together, I think I can learn to live with this.

    So this is yet another incentive to get debt free by December 2011.

    I think a mortgage is a different kind of debt and one that's ok to have, although I can understand your way of thinking about it.

    Although, with you firing every penny you've got at it to overpay it I'm sure it would be gone in no time! :rotfl:

    My Lloyds CC balance on line in saying N/A, whilst my other accounts on there are working and showing the correct information.

    Strange, wouldn't it be nice if a mystery donor had cleared it for me!

    Mine also said that this morning.

    I assumed cause I paid it all off last week, but maybe there's a problem?

    Imagine if they lost all the data and you didn't have to pay it back?! :p

    I am currently entertaining the fantasy that it's been wiped off their system miraculously!

    My statement is due tomorrow but that has never affected it before. It also won't let me click on view previous statements.

    I'm not going to ring and ask just in case a miracle has occurred, who am I to question these things lol!
