    Well done, you have good reason to feel chuffed!

    Can I ask how long it took you and how did you manage to do it?

    Took me 4 and half years - Used ebay, paid blogging, I worked over time, every spare bit of cash went to pay of the credit card, I didn't have treats forever! And for the loan I paid £145 a month and in the end I managed to save enough to pay of the last two grand :)

    Congratulations Damita!!:T just love these threads!!

    Ive got a loan that Ive got down to £9,140 and it will take me another 5 years.
    However one of my bills of £81 per month ends next June and another which I pay £118 per month which is up next October,they will go on to my loan so I will also finish my loan before the 5 years is up.Oh I can see light at the end of the tunnel,it looks far away but its going to arrive eventually.

    Bet you feel fabulous,and so you should!!:beer:
