    The loan website is back up and running this evening, so have paid off my car loan. That one kind of galled me because it was a fairly high rate. Anyway, it means I can do this:

    #123 - 6129 / 10762

    In my book that definitely puts me over half way earlier than half way through the year, and closer to getting my life back from this debt!

    Well done Superheavy on clearing the car loan. Bet it is a great feeling, well done.;)

    Cheers guys, it does feel pretty good, but I'm not getting complacent yet. There's still plenty to go yet.

    Can't help you with this one Jem, I can't remember when I last had a life.

  • Payday update!

    InsertWittyName #055 | £11,596.25/£16,570.76 (69.98%)

    Just under £5k owing (hit my milestone!)

    £2,953.23 paid off this month!

    Next two months are going to be slower - got some of the annual bills (car tax, insurance & breakdown cover plus about £500 for holiday spends to cater for).

    I was a DFW, now I'm a MFW :T
