    Hi SS :hello:

    BIG congratulations on getting below £20k! Bit of a kick up the bum for me as I've set myself a little challenge to at least try to keep up with you (hope you don't mind a bit of healthy competition from one so new :p )

    Debts - I can keep up with you.

    Anything else - doubt you can keep up with me!
