    So close I bet its niggling you that such a small amount (in comparison) is left. It will be a great feeling once the last payments made and you are officially free again ;)

    I agree, once the plumber has been paid, school fees have been paid and we have the credit card bills in, we should be able to see exactly how much we owe. It's all a bit messy at the moment, we have money sprawled over 2 accounts but I reckon in a couple of weeks I'll know the exact amount.:beer:
