    GO for it!

    The more the merrier, and seeing such a big balance go down is soooooooo satisfying!
    .
  • I am looking forward to crossing out the old balance and amending with the new LOWER balance !! :cool:

    Just hope I can keep up with the rest of you guys ! :j

    Ooooh yes! That's a great idea!
    Shall we all post updates on the same day of the week (Mon?)
    And then update the first post??

    Not expecting to win, as won't be paying off anywhere near £1000 a month like you guys, but will definitely not want to be bottom of the league either!!!!! :laugh:
    .
  • I will be happy to post on a weekly basis, will keep me more focused ;)

  • Hi guys, sorry had to take b/f to airport there.

    What dye think if i'm on a DMP? I really dunno whether I should let someone take my place. But i'm so keen to be debt free as soon as.... I've taken about 20 pics of items I'm gonna list on ebay tomorrow. Selling a diamond cross (I love it) but needs must...
