Oh those things are pretty robust, I don't think you'd really manage to make a dent in it - all an optical illusion! *nudges pole upright*

Then again a few more cocktails and we could use it for limbo... :rotfl:

Happy DF day Rosa:beer::beer::beer: Sorry I'm a bit late to the party.

I think when I first started following your diary you were at about £10k? Whatever it was, it was a big figure and you're posts have been both inspirational and amusing

But....I have a confession to make - just as you are becoming debt free I am jumping back on the credit train as I am buying a new car - will probably need to re-read your diary to keep me on track

Big well done again :T

Thanks Vasseur :A *passes Vasseur cocktail and party popper*

Yes, I re-read this thread the other day and I think I started with at least £9K. At its worst I owed about £14K. So not bad for the time, though I did notice that the thing that's really made the difference for me is the secondments at work that have made the extra income available.

Hope you enjoy your new car - what kind are you getting? And sensible credit is well, sensible... it's when we get distracted and use it in the wrong ways that it's a problem.

(Also you may have noticed my confession that I still owe my parents for my 'car loan' - I haven't counted it in my lists because it's so flexible, but morally I do need to pay that off too. I will be upping the payments soon. )

Now, name your cocktail...

Yes I did notice you had a car loan from your parents and it made me feel a bit better. How does anyone get a decent car these days unless they get a loan or it's a company car? It's just the idea of taking out a significant amount of credit that doesn't sit easy with me having been debt free for over 3 years....however my current car is 11 years old and I've had it for 9 of them. I haven't even had a relationship THAT long It doesn't owe me anything but it is just starting to go wrong.

I am looking to get a N1ssan Jooke....have finally decided that I'd quite like something super! It does mean that I will have to be really focused on keeping track of my money but I'm usually better with it when i have very little in my account - every penny is watched like a hawk....it's when i have loads sloshing around that i just fritter it away....

*is it too early for a Cosmopolitan?*

Thanks for the cocktail. And a huge well done from me

As for the pole - when explains things to hubby ( blame one to many cocktails) he thinks I most likely need practice, as an engineer getting the HEAVY DUTY pole and fixings won't be a problem) what have you started:eek:
Sorry I was late to the party but I read from the beginning

My daughter has a flexible car loan too and a flexible house deposit loan too she pays 100 a month straight into my isa

She gets regular payment holidays and says she will be paying it off for ever
That is something we are happy to do for our off spring
