    no, not sad at all!! I am really pleased that our payments go out 3 times a month - 1st, 15th, and 20th, so I get to update my signature regularly :o

    Hello taxi - we are the same age - I will be 50 in 2014 too. No chance of me being mortgage-free then but I hope to be otherwise debt-free.

    You're doing really well, I'll wash and iron the yellow jersey as you'll be needing it soon.

    I'm packing up to do a carboot tomorrow. I don't feel too hopeful as most of the stuff I'm taking has been to three carboots already this year. Now would it be evil to bag up all the lego strewn across this room and put it in the car. I haven't actually asked DS but would he notice.

    Mine's January so I'm the oldest! Don't do yourself down, you are great at paying debts, but I agree Hypno and Olive Oyl are tough competition. I'll enjoy wearing the yellow jersey while I can.

    My carboot stuff is mostly clothes and books - don't know why I'm bothering really but I'm doing it with a friend so it's only £5 each, we must SURELY make that back. My mum has given me a mountain of knitting patterns so it will be interesting to see if those go.

    Well, I don't think i will be needing the yellow jersey - My money is secretly on Taxi, but being a matched betting type of girl, I can get away with backing Seaxwyn too without losing anything!!

    Nice idea, but I don't think it will be that productive - it always slows up when the easy offers run out!

    We'll see whatever we pay off is a bonus anyway....and no need for anyone to feel stressed about it as it's all friendly banter
