    I am going to treat myself to a really nice, classic and expensive handbag. Then I'm going to plough all my spare cash into paying off our mortgage. I certainly won't be going back to my old ways *shudder*.

    I'm going to go to Paris and fulfil my dream of doing what Marianne Faithfull said she'd never do. It's been my dream since I was 19 and I will do it before i'm 40!

    just to give you some aspiration I reached that milestone when I was 50, decided that I can take early retirement to enjoy quality of life. opportunity to retire arrive when I was 52 and I decided to take the plunge and go for it, looking back I am glad I did. now I enjoy my life with my DW and son by going out in my Caravan at least 2 weekend a month and during school holidays and half term.

    nice to dream eh my debt free date is suppossed to be april 2010 eeeek

    im so tempted to treat myself to the lastest everything as soon as im out of debt but its a slippery path ehhh

    but im starting to think that material things are not important so i might scrap that idea and save a deposit and try get a house before they rise to 500k average lol
