    Well it's definate that this time next week I'll be under the £20k mark!

    Depressingly even though it is a milestone I'm not even half way through this debt! :undecided

    I'm currently 3 months ahead of my DFD but that is still only July 2009! :doh:

    I wanna knock about 15 months off that! :eek:
