    Wow, that's some challenge you've set yourself SS!!!!

    Can't wait for the party:j :j :j :j

    Good Luck xx
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi SS - Happy New Year to you!!!

    I have no doubt in my mind that you can do it, although it is a hell of a lot of money to be paying back each month!! How good will it feel when you do it though? I am really proud of you & look forward to hearing all about it, just dont make yourself ill doing it, like I did, & still try and enjoy life at the same time!!

    Wow, what a goal to have for 2007!! Wishing you the best of luck oh gorgeous security guard ;) - it means you can buy your ticket to Oz!! :rotfl:

    Don't mention the car mats!!

    Happy New Year SS.

    Gawd you're setting the standards a bit high! Martin's gonna have to invent a new category of sainthood, roll of honour just won't cut it.

    If you're planning on robbing a bank I'm happy to recommend one, (or 5:A ) but I'm afraid my state of health won't allow active participation. :cool: Of course my commission will be the usual "finder's fee".:D

    Seriously though good luck and we'll all be cheering you on.:T :T :T

    Thanks again everyone for your support. :)

    Paid 3 bills yesterday so debt is down a little bit and matched betting profits are up a little bit. :j

    Had to pay £140 to make my car better today though! :doh:

    Lets hope this doesn't start a trend for the year! :rolleyes:

    Think January is gonna be a write-off in terms of paying extra towards debts as I've got quite a few things need paying and sorting! But it will be less things to worry about and can throw more energy at the debts. :D
  • Capital one has about £1,000 at 3.9% and stupidly the rest is 12.9% where I transfered after the intro period. :doh:

    All the others are life of balance cards. :)

    Perfect you must have a good credit history.
    And that’s something to be proud of!:T

    Hey mate, are you alright?????

    Saw your other posts - sorry about the tax bill & that you are having a bad start to 2007. Anything I can do to help? (within reason of course!) ;) I know you and your dirty mind. :rolleyes:

    Seriously though, I hope you are ok. Unfortunately these things are sent to try us and it wont all be plain sailing - but you are still in a better position than you would have been, its not great, but dont let it stop you from 2007 being the year you are debt free.

    Sending you lots of hugs across the world!! Want me to fly back and see you? :eek: Thought not..... :rotfl:
