    Superheavy - when you pay your loan off, will that be it?

    Well, once the loan is paid off I'm *maybe* thinking of easing back a bit, as I'll only have £800 on the credit card to pay off, and that's on a 0% balance transfer til December. On the other hand...I want to get my name on the Wall of Fame that Canucksfan just got her name on to!

    As for going climbing, I think you're on the right track. We get little enough sun as it is, so spending it stuck in the office like I did today was grim.
    DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

    Total - 10762/10762 :)

    Every silver lining has its cloud.

    :j:j:j:j:j Ahem, can I make a little announcement to my Posse...I am debt free! It feels Fan-Bloomin-Tastic I can tell you. All of the hopes and dreams we daydream about on this journey about what we will do once we are DF...well now we can pursue em - they are a reality!
    As the debt belonged to both my DH and I, he is also sharing in the happiness! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    FANTASTIC, so very pleased for you and your OH. xxx:T:T:T:T

    Ahhh I see I have missed a lot whilst i have been gone...
    Congrats Canucksfan
    :j:j:j:j:j
    That is really great news and I always enjoy reading your posts so I hope you aren't going anywhere...

    As for me, well sorry i have been AWOL again, still plodding away with the debt, I've been trying to get through THE fleabay pile which is massive so that has been helping, but is using up alot of my time, hence me not being around much, sorry about that :D
    Anyway, I will have a big catch up tomorrow, I've been reading the daily emails but I'm sure I will have missed stuff so i will look through tomorrow.

    Not sure i'll make it to £10K by Christmas, but considering this is the first time in about 8 years the debt has gone down and not up, it's a start!

  • Congratulations Canucksfan! Very excited for you!

    I will be making some headway in the debt soon, just waiting for payday and sale of shares. I ordered my new car yesterday, but not counting that as debt, partly because I had no choice about getting another car after my broke. My sortofmum met Mr S's dad last night! It was ok, she is meeting the rest of them when we go up in 3 weeks time.

    Tirlittan, enjoy yourself and spend some time with the BF :)

    Jakes-mum you are quiet, everything ok?

    Hellooooo to everyone else :)

    I'm here :) its DH being at home I've been all over the place (and now crashing badly :mad:) he's just a fidget bum and doesn't seem to realise the reason I was doing so well with my health is that I sit at home nearly all the time :( also mum gave me a load of stuff to ebay for her on the weekend, oh and put on facebook too (im sure my family have no idea how long listing stuff takes :eek:) have told dh today that apart from his docs appt, I'm not going anywhere!! Little does he know that's also going to be the same tomorrow :(

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning all!

    <---- my poor little lad is off to the vets tonight. His left front leg is all swollen and he's limping, he looks really sorry for himself too. He's insured but we have to pay the vet then claim back off insurance so I'm hoping it's not too expensive (though there is plenty of give on the CC if necessary)

    Have a good day x
