£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Kepp

Well the plan was to celebrate by going to Africa for a month in November - I'm defnitely going to still be going to Africa as is all booked now, but I am wondering if I am actually going to be DF by then

Kepp

£210 to my brother and £176 to the overdraft

Which means that the overdraft is officially gone! :j:j I paid the last off last night and set the limit to 0 so that's the end of that one :j:j:D:D

Emzilla

Yay - bye bye nasty overdraft!! :beer:

I can almost taste it! Can't wait to call for a settlement figure on my loan.

Are you getting excited for Africa yet or is it still a bit too far away?

Kepp

I am getting very excited as I can't wait to get back to Africa ( think I have what might be bordering on an obsession with the place ) but at the same time I feel a bit bad that I may not be DF by then.

Seems to me that you're doing great - you'll be very close even if you haven't quite made it.

What I've learned in my 2nd DFW year is that you can't wait to be DF to have a life. The 1st year was really hard and tbh we were stuck in an absolute rut. No new clothes, no treats, nothing to look forward to. This year I've been so much more relaxed and we're having a lot more fun and looking forward to things other than just being DF.

So Africa is more important is what I'm saying!

Kepp

I totally agree, I think it's just getting used to it. My mind set has changed all of it's own accord and my brain is trying to catch up with itself! I expect that makes no sense at all
