    Woo Hoo the last every payment for the chairs I bought 4 years ago came out the bank today, which means that the chair currently residing at my sons house and used for gaming has finally been paid for:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It's such a good feeling though to get another debt ticked off, we could have paid it earlier but I purposely left it to run its course as a reminder of how I can buy things on interest free or over a certain term thinking its a good idea, but the pain in the butt of paying it goes on and on... It is aimed specifically at car buying as the last car we bought over 4 years but at year two we got some money to pay it off so did... Next time we may not be so lucky

    So one direct debit to cancel and one debt less to have, going to concentrate on the interest bearing debt still, but one wee irritating one has now gone forever :)

    Tilly tidies and sugar shuffle done today, although I did have a mars bar ... Just not at work :(

    I have the c25k today to do, but I am soooo tired, had a very busy ten hour shift, and managed to get roped into another two ten hour shifts before my run starts again on Friday :(

    I will do the c25k though, there really is no way I can't do it
