    I wonder if Mr Branson is noticing we're all paying him off :rotfl:

    I work for them and I think I can safely say he wont be noticing on his caribbean island :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • :o Oh and I have a confession to make. We did a big gardening job for a nice chap and he gave us a £20 tip :A and instead of paying it off our debt or declaring it to Mr Tax Man we went to the pub for a meal. It was to celebrate being in business for a year too :p
    Food was lush !!!!!

    WOW - what an amazing perspective and I am really very impressed. An Indian takeaway as a reward/treat/consolation for a bad day is my absolute downfall both weight-loss wise and money-wise!

    That is really inspiring, thank you!

    Same here, honestly never thought about it like that. Even though now it seems simple and obvious! Think I shall never have a take away for a long time to come. Might even print it out & stick in the kitchen somewhere :D

    Hi all

    I know I don't post often but I am an excellent lurker and it's great to see everyone doing so well:):).

    So paid today and monthly payments all away to pay debt.

    I'm number 97- £5075/£7438 (68%) . I just need to find another £2363 in 3 months:o
  • Well done R-O for being brave, you've paid off loads, do you think you'd have paid off anywhere near that amount if you hadn't joined our 'club'? :D

    Oh gods, no! We'd ADDED to our debt every year for about 8 years! It's fab seeing it come down. :j and that's thanks to you lovely people. :beer:
