    Excellent to hear about your trip to the gym! And that the lurgy is on the way out.

    never too old is right - 2014 will be on you before you know it, now you're really getting into the swing of debt-busting. I think I would find having one major debt a bit of a psychological barrier, and I'm thinking from what you say that you feel the same? Is there a way you could break it down, maybe by what Memory Girl calls 'chunking', i.e. dividing it into mini targets?
