    I do hope you will be sticking around here though once you are fully DF ( which of course you kinda are now ;)

    Of course.

    On a complete tangent, have I told you that you've got the sexiest avatar on the forum?

    Missus passed her test and wants a car. I don't cos I know how much of a money vortex they can be (but secretly I want one...and I want one that starts first time and where the doors shut with a nice crisp sound, not like the lemons and bangers I've had in the past).

    Mate is getting married in hong kong next year. Need to save for that

    Need a sofa.

    Need a deposit for a mortgage.

    Fridge is looking a bit wonky.

    Christ.

    Well done!!! There should almost be a thread just for 'who's become debt free this month' so everyone can stand and take a bow!

    Congrats to you both - and I pity Carol Vordeman...!
