    :D I've just put my first payment into my new savings account :D
    It won't be there too long but it's sooo nice to know that I can do that now, and that this time next year I will be able to leave it there :cool:

    Congratulations :D That's a huge amount to have paid off :)

    Woke up by OH this morning telling me he's got a first for his degree and has been awarded computer project of the year for his dissertation. So proud of him, not that I thought he'd get anything less. He's worked super hard and deserves the credit :) Makes the stress of the past few months worth it.
    Oh well done Mr Kerri :j and I understand there's going to be a Master or Miss Kerri too :D
    I've not been on here for ages but I'm still debt free, and cancer free at the moment, thanks to the wonderful consultants at Llandough hospital :heartsmil.
    Everyone's doing so well, keep it up you can get there xx

    Oh just seen that Spagbol is going to be a mummy again, yippee!

    I have a dilemma- I have my holiday money put by but I can't take the time off work so do I pay off the rest of my debt?

    Technically if I offset, I am debt free but whilst I have the balance on the card I don't feel that I am IYSWIM.

    The card is 0% so if I pay it off and then go on hols later in the summer I may end up using a card, owing again and paying interest. Decisions decisions.......:o
