    Ah what brilliant news! Well done you!! Perfect way to start a new year.

    Get yourself over to the Roll of Honour first thing tomorrow (after the double celebration hangover has cleared ;) ) and share your success on there!

    As for switching boards: I don't feel like I qualify for this board any more since my debts are outweighed by savings 2-1 currently (Isn't 0% good?) but I have struggled to find anywhere close to the kind of support and companionship/cameraderie there is on this board. I am going nowhere ;) I look forward to seeing your updates on new goals/savings or splurgings :D

    Happy New Year!!!!
