    Me too! And also, if you can pay off that much in 14 days how did you manage to get into debt in the first place!!? Well done anyway.

    My DH got an insurance payout for an accident he had 2 years ago at work. We paid off £5k today and now it's gone, and obviously we won't be able to do that every month. I took that money into account when I set my target, so for me £16000 is real.
