That is very very impressive
Thank you.
However, I was helped along by my appalling credit control record.
Now that my debtors list is much more up to date, the second half of the debt will be much harder to clear than the first, but it feels great to have a 2 in the thousands column rather than a 4!!
I'd never have done it if I'd not come back to the MSE forum.
Cheers for your guidance, support and enthusiasm guys!:DMortgage at end 05/2007: £90200

Morning Thistle, I was laughing when reading all the posts, what with spreadsheets, saving pots you'll love time spent with MFW :T
I like the idea of Deluxe TillyTidies - may have to have a go at that the day before pay day perhaps
Good luck

Evening all,
What a manic couple of days. Just haven't had any time to sit down and write a proper post. Been catching up with you all but just no energy.
Lot happening here on the MSE front:
Got another 3 x £2 coins for my fund, (up to £62 now since January) and received another cheque in the post for £62 also, funnily enough! That'll get thrown at the cards tomorrow.
Expecting my statements any time soon for all three cards so ill be please to see a big fat £0 on one, a reduction in balance of £1237 on another and the 0% balances a little lower than before. At this rate ill be clear well before my deadline of Feb 2014.
Sorting out a load of stuff for eBay now. I've got tons of stuff but whether it'll sell or not is anyone's guess. I'm starting with the videos. I got rid of my TV a year ago so don't need them! DVDs I can play on my computer so I'll keep them.
Got an issue to put by you all, but too tired to contemplate penning it now. Off to fill Deborah, my hot water bottle. She has a zebra-print cover so OH called her Deborah (the Zebra). Mad boy!!
Night all,

How weird, to name a hot water bottle.
