    I'm (very) late to the party, but wondering if it's still possible to join? I've paid off ~£7000 in the past 18 months and aiming to pay off my last remaining debt by Christmas (which just happens to be my favourite time of the year :xmassmile). My total is £3500.

    Oh dear, dktreesea- we're also moving somethere with an attic. I think it could end badly... I will bear in mind to try lifting the sofa a little bit before we buy it... Though to be fair, you can always say it comes with the property if you move!

    Ah yes, the 3rd floor....We're on one of those, with another 16 steps inside just to rub it in.
    I would love to buy a place (and keep renting this one for storage, lol) but our couch is so heavy, and must have been so traumatised when we brought it up (our fault because we didn't realise it was so fancy and that each part could be split into two, i.e. the base separate from the top part) that it's refusing to even move out of the lounge, let alone be transported elsewhere, lol.
    Then there's the attic, which has most of The Things, and our bed. Every time I dare even so much to lay eyes on The Things with a thought to moving them along, let alone move close to them, they tell me to get lost, they're sleeping. One pile has even acquired a mattress over the top of the pile (no I didn't do the deed - the pile is now taller than me) to emphasise the point.
    It could be worse. What if the attic had had 10 foot ceilings, like the downstairs part....

    I laughed at 'The Things'... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Reminds me of League of Gentlemen and the creepy Local Shop for Local People, which had the Precious Things of the Shop! Shiver!

    Also in the throes of moving and wanting to torch my Things. So much stuff!

    Me too! Just got some quotes from several removals companies and am astounded at the cost! Thinking that lots of my Things may have to have a long holiday at the Land(fill) of Recycling. Either that or hubby's Things might have to be "sorted through" whilst he's working away ;)
