UNDER £19K! Another mini-milestone reached!

This morning, I decided to pay an extra £100 off my Egg Loan, which now takes my debt down to £18,934 Wooooo Hoooo :dance:

When I started posting on DFW, I never thought I'd get this far this fast. Thanks :T guys for all the help - and keep it coming, I've a long way to go! Am a bit euphoric right now :j (sad huh?! ;)) and am convinced Martin should be awarded an OBE! Who's with me????!!!

  • Well done Mirtos!

    I just noticed that we owe about the same amount of money! Perhaps we should have the £18,000 debt challenge :rotfl: ????

  • Brilliant - well done to you - a great feeling to see it start to go down isn't it? (not so great that I'd ever want to be in this position again, mind you!!!)
    I think if you challenge it in 'bite-size chunks' - it seems 'do-able' & that lifts you out of that feeling of total despair.
    Well done again! What's the DFW mode of celebration to be? Be great if you could find a Tesco R&R on a bottle of champers!
  • Well done Mirtos, thats brilliant! :j :j :j
    You have done really well :cool2:
