  • I think it's fair to say you've well and truly smashed it! Can't wait to find out what the "next step" will be! :) Well done! :j

    Hi gallygirl,

    I think it is fair to say that the backs of my sofas' are clear of coinage, though I may find the odd toy car stuck down there....

    Cheers SSS,

    It has been a bit of slog, I will only feel 'smashing' when I finally get the confirmation letter.
    And yes, I'm rather curious to find out what the 'Next Big Thing' is going to be...

    Hi All,

    Done It!!!

    Last payment made on 17th August 2015.

    Received a confirmation letter dated 19th August from Bank.

    I think I overpaid by a few pence which they will be refunding me.


    I think all my previous posts in this thread sum up my thought processes.

    I feel good....

  • Well done, give yourself a huge pat on the back. I'm getting ready to tackle mine and I think 5 years all being well, but it seems so far away and such a large amount. You've inspired me. Thank you and good luck for the next step.
