One down!

Goodbye, Cahoot flexible loan! A pox on your interest rate hikes!
I've been very stoic about dealing with my debts. Once I sat down and faced the figures, I developed a very practical attitude (and an Excel spreadsheet!). Cahoot is the first one I've been able to clear outright. I did it tonight, and I honestly didn't expect to feel such an emotional release. I nearly burst into tears!
I've got a long way to go, and I suspect things will take longer than my signature suggests: my income doubles in September with the start of a PhD, but I'll also be moving into my own place and I'll doubtless need to borrow money to pay off the ex next summer.
But I got one of them down! Hooray! :dance: :j
