    Thanks sea! :D

    To be honest it's not something I do want as such. I've got a perfectly fine PC. However it would be an investment in my career and I'm not sure I can afford not to get it if that makes sense! :undecided

    So it will eventually bring n more money than not getting it? No question then! I can understand why you want that £10 k break through as well though - motivating!

    Saw you are back on form btw over on freebies ;)

    Well it 'should' bring in more money but will definately make my job more secure! :think:

    Maybe I will break the £20k barrier before saving up for it! I think I need the boost physcologically! :undecided

    Go for it then - if the apple mac can wait, get that boost :)

    And well done for not making smutty remarks about some of the phases I used in my congratulatory post! I only realised after I'd posted what you could make of that! :)

    I'm below £21k! :j

    If I manage to pay off the £900 odd before April 10 it will mean I would have paid off £10k in the last 12 months! :D

    Will mean an overpayment of around £500 which was meant for my Apple Mac fund but................. :undecided

    Waaayheyyy!!! Well done!!! :beer: :j :T

    On April 10 I'm 95% certain I will be below the £20k mark which mean I would have paid off £10k in a year!

    You know I don't like to blow my own trumpet (insert sexual inuendos here :rolleyes: :p ) but I am well f***ing chuffed with myself! :j
