    It is in SA, there's an amazing looking wild cat project over there, lions, caracles etc and I've been looking at my friends photos on FB and wanting to go so much...thinking that should be my debt-free present to myself :D

    Me 2. I'm on the "buy a new car when debt free" bandwagon - just hope mine lasts me that long. Want a focus, black, preferably zetec or similar.

    Hey Woowoo just started reading your thread, and thought I would say hi :). I'm curious about you paying pennies into the Barclays - how did you do this as I would like to pay off mine in this way (among others) but the banks I have been to (Santander and Halifax to name two) have told me I have to bag them up so I have been saving all the change I find up. Thanks :)
