Less than £500 to go!

The end is in sight, I now owe less than £500 and once my Natwest bill comes through I can pay £200 off that so will owe less than £300!
I really want to get this paid off by Christmas so that I can start 2007 with a completely clean slate, so it's a case of battening down the hatches and getting on with it.
I don't quite know if I'll make it with Christmas presents and stuff, but if I don't then it won't be the end of the world if I have to wait till the end of January....
