    Possibly Hypno or Ehallett ??? They've both paid off huge amouts and done an amazing job:beer:
    Don't think so - in his blog Martin mentions about the person getting around 20 of their work colleagues reclaiming bank charges too - Hypno is self employed & Emily doesn't work per se - she does AQA, mystery shops etc cos of her health
    Total Debt 13th Sept 2006 (exc student loan): £6240.06 :eek:

    I'm sure Emily did work - not too long ago. But equally - not too long ago - she said she didn't want the publicity.

    I know other people who might qualify - but they too didn't want publicity.

    It is a conundrum...

    I can't wait to see who has won, but it's getting a little ridiculous that it's taken so long.

    Tis not me - I didn't enter. Too scared of possibly baring all (debtwise obviously) in the newspapers after keeping it hidden from all and sundry quite successfully for so long!!

    Not sure whether Black Saturn did it the "MSE way". I always thought she paid her debts off quite a while ago.

    I think moozie said she didn't want publicity either.

    I wondered if it was someone we don't know, it could be someone who rarely posts.
    Well done to whoever it is :beer: lets hope they announce it soon.
