:T:T well done jakes-mum! You did it! :T:T
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting really excited knowing I'll be debt free soon (except you jakes-mum). I finally got a date for my pay review, and I'm definitely due a raise! A girl who started 2 months after me, who doesn't work a minute more than she has to got hers, so if the world is a fair place... *cough* though I did spend a bit this afternoon working out how I might spend my money when it's no longer going on debts!!
