    Yes, the pot is building up nicely - about 10% of the way to clearing the loan.....so if it kept building up at the same rate, I could clear the loan at the end of the year.

    (if there are no emergencies, and if the children don't want to ski, and my windows can last a few more months!!)

    really wish you would set up that matched betting workshop - but understand if you have no time or energy at the moment... just remember quite a few of us were serious about that suggestion.....

    hope you have a relaxing holiday and not just a productive one...
