    Well I think you are doing fab, and as a newbie it is inspiring to see people making massive dents into their debt.

    It was only a twinkle of an eye ago that you couldn't wait to be sub £30k ss. And now you're £78.20 way from being under £21k.

    If you need a holiday then start planning for one. There's an incentive for matched betting. Call it the holiday fund and keep the profits for that and only that. You're doing so well on the debt repayment out of your ordinary money so leave it at that for a little while and go and see Ms London in OZ.

    Excellent idea!! Even if its not as far as Oz, a holiday is definitely deserved I reckon! I know its not strict dfw, but you seem to be struggling with that at the mo... a rest and a bit of a treat could be just what you need!

    Well I've got a break booked towards the end of the year and at least it's something to look forward to. It's not cheap either so will have to make do with that one this year! :doh: :rolleyes:

    I'm feeling a bit more 'cherpier'! :confused: :rotfl:

    Have a mini spring clean! Tidy house, tidy mind and all that! :)
