    Been wondering where u got to, been checking in every day!

    Sorry to hear you haven't been well.

    Hope the debts can still make their way down, even if it has to be a lot slower, sometimes life just gets in the way.

    Thankyou,

    Ive slipped discs in my back and my muscles have all seized up so havent been at work. Get paid when I am off but no overtime, so wont be making great payments :(

    Oh yeah!!! Well done!! It must feel amazing to be so far down the road - huge congrats to you. When I have rid of my CC, I'm taking hubby out to the very non-MSE Betty's for tea! I'm already planning it and already looking forward to it! Are you planning a small victory treat for hitting halfway?
