  • Thanks Woo, might need to hang back a little then though because I won't really fit in with our group anymore and don't want to rub it in :o

    Thanks Woo, my debt clearance is nothing compared to what you lot have achieved though!

    I mean some of you have cleared several times my amount of debt in a year...I've been lazy with it and could really have cleared it much sooner but wanted to live as well :o

    Be loud and proud Pennies - when I finally clear my debt you'll hear my shouting without the need for the forum...

  • Just under 3% (£26) sent to the loan today, now 88%/100% :D

    The last 12% will be made in one payment of £133.42 (round about, as probably a few more pence in interest will be added) on 1st January :D

    CAN'T WAIT!!! :j

  • Thanks! I'm really excited. Going to do my sister a hamper full of stuff, will start buying from now until May.

    One catch though, it will be a disney hamper! Loads of lovely disney things in the sale at Asda just now, 101 dalmation pjs for £2.50...
