    I hate this last week of the year!

    For some it's a holiday, for me it still means work. It's just a rubbishy week that I'd rather didn't exist so I can just crack on with 2008!

    It's pants! :undecided

    I'm working too- it's rubbish isn't it. Just think of the money we'll save though by working our little socks off instead of shopping and/or drinking...

    I dont get hoilday, we arnt alowed to book any for christmas or new year weeks. usually they allow everyone to take one day each week to stop the same people being off for the whole holidays.

    Cant bare the new year either, role on 2008. bet you cant wait to say you will be debt free this year.

    It was horrendous! But it was so nice to be in the new house for Christmas even though it was a little stressful. I was out partying quite a lot when I should have been unpacking but hey, how can you turn down free alcohol? :confused:

    My thoughts exactly :D

    So how long do you think it'll take you to clear the rest of your debt?

    Well the snowball calculator says December 2008. An extra £500 a month would mean August and thats probably achievable! But I'm just so desperate to make it even earlier!

    I really wanna get my own place ASAP but I know I'm gonna end up disappointed and dejected! :(
