I have paid off Newday! I also have enough to replace my old cooker! TBH - it was guzzling so much electricity I reckon it will save money to have the new one! It had one setting - full on and even this meant a normal casserole took over 3 hours to cook! I planned for it and used some of job number 3 earnings to pay for it.
Milestone thread is fab idea btw.DMP since August 2011
