    Thanks! I've been itching to do it but had to wait for pay in/bills out to see how much I could afford to pay off! In fact it felt so good to hear the disappointment in the bank lady's voice when I said I was trying to get rid of the bloody thing as soon as possible, that as soon as I was done I phoned work and asked for more overtime - another 7 shifts booked for february and march! Who needs days off? I can rest when I'm debt free!
