    At least "gazelle intensity" sounds quite graceful......rather unlike tackling a debt like a bull in a china shop!!

    I do know that every time I either clear a debt, or get into the next £10k bracket, I have a few down days - I don't really know why, but I have learned to recognise that it happens. I guess that after paying off Mum, I am having one of those days.....coupled, I guess, with once again having to give away all my hard earned bonus to someone else, even if in the long run it is benefitting me in some way!

    Ah well......onwards and ever upwards :)

    WTBF - welcome to my diary. The people on here are great, so stick around!

    I just remembered something... I think you have the same feeling that a friend had when he went to weekly targets from monthly. Could be described as ruddy hell, time to start again already!

    Beanie, I bought "Hard Girls" and "Broken" on a bogof in Tescos.....I've read most of her stuff, and am fairly sure these are the newest.

    NIce to read that you've had a nice relaxing day in the sun.
    I wouldn't spend anytime worrying about the debt as you can afford the minimums at least and life is too short to worry and if you come across a great way of getting any extra money then it's a bonus.
    You have done fantastically and don't have much left at all now.

    Yes, I think I am just going to take things as they come. No additional stress in my life required right now!!

    That's the best idea...you have enough to deal with as it is.
    I'm thinking this way since my health scare....we cannot buy health.
