I feel I have to keep this alive but I don't have anything worthwhile to say! :rotfl:

Money is still all good. Have bought loads for the flat and still coming within budget. Getting a couple of bits bought for me aswell which helps.

Less than 6 weeks to go and I really can't wait. Sadly also so I know what I've got left over to pay of the debt. Will be sub £8k however come next month! :T

Nowt else much to say, apart from this is my first post via my laptop!

The car mats. Yes. :rotfl:

They were a kind of impulse purchase not long after my lightbulb moment. I didn't need them, obviously, but ended up splashing out about £65 on them. Bearing in mind at the time money was tighter than a gnats @rse. :rolleyes:

I still CANNOT believe how much you have paid off. going to learn mb in school holidays

Good on ya. Just keep with it. It looked at it probably 6 months prior to understanding it and gave up before coming back. If I hadn't, I might be debt free by now, so keep reading and reading it until you do understand it.

It's really easy once you've figured it out.

C'mon you, there's a few of us waiting for you to get settled in your new flat, become debt free and then we can have the mother of all parties in your new flat to celebrate.:rotfl::p

Just don't be getting obsessed with kitchen gagdets like some people.:rolleyes:;)

Although have I mentioned the panasonic breadmaker (currently on offer on amazon) and a slowcooker are essential MSE Oldstyle necessities.;):D

Lakeland do a fabulous garlic press where you don't have to peel it...... trouble is it's so groovy you'll put garlic in everything, but at least it keeps the mossies & vampires away .

You really should get a slow cooker - the laydees would be well impressed with your culinary skills & wouldn't know you'd just bunged it all in

Hiya SS

nice to see you! have you got any further with your new SOA? I suppose you'll have to wait until you're in to know what the bills will be. How much do you think you'll have for debt busting?

Hi V.

New SOA is scary! :rotfl:

Out of my normal pay I'm not really gonna have anything extra to put to the debts other than my loan payment of £371.57. However, I'm easily making £500 a month extra from matched betting so I'm aiming to at least double my monthly payment.
