    Hypno, you need to have a 'Debt Free' party when for when you get debt free, as it will be such a collossal achievement. We are all coming. Let us know the date. ;)

    I agree with this sentiment. a party would be just the ticket.

    Hey Hypno. I'm sorry you are feeling pants, but I can understand why. However, don't forget that you have passed the very last of the big markers on your way to debt freedom - the 20 mile marker in your debt marathon. I can understand that you are tired and emotional, but you WILL finish (in a very good time, too for the amount of debt you started with!). The finish line is in sight. Dig deep and keep putting one foot in front of another. We are lining the course and cheering, and can't wait to give you your Jaffa Cake medal at the end!


    Love the idea of a jaffa cake medal for clearing the debt:beer:

    One of the things I have been thinking of is where I go from here, housewise....two jumped out at me as being potential but both would need me to be debt free first:

    Favoured location but no parking

    Ski club village same school catchment, so no probs re kids and their friends, same village as ski club,

    Both would be perfectly easy to walk to work in about 20-30 mins.
    .

    Ooh the second one looks lovely... I am drooling over how big the back lawn is. And it is soooo cheap (remember my english house is in buckinghamshire and was soooo expensive to buy...)

    Thanks :rotfl:

    Day 7 of Shred done. My muscles don't burn as much as they did at the weekend, which means it will soon be time to move to scary level 2 :eek:

    WI today, and I hope for the magic "9" something. I will report in at lunchtime.

    Off to scratch and bank - then on with the day.

    Hope you all have a good day!
