    Here we are again! :rolleyes:

    2008 WILL be my debt free year. It just depends on when. The snowball calculator says December. My head says August. My heart says June. So it will probably be 2009! :p

    Go SS, go SS, go SS :j :j :j .

    I followed the link to your original post.... crikey, you were in such a bad way it was nearly 2 pages in before there was the hint of a flirt :eek: :eek: .

    Hmmm, obviously long, long time ago..... :rotfl:

    OK SS, it's my XXXXV11 birthday on 29th Aug - that's your target date..... should you wish to accept.........;)

  • Good luck SS. I plan on reading your diary this year due to all the good things people have to say about you and the amazing progress you have made in 2 years!

    Fingers crossed for the June date but to be honest if you make it this year full stop, its an amazing achievement!

    Here's a question, when you do pay off all your debts, what do you plan to use your money for? Are you going to save for a deposit for a house, a holiday in the sun, a new car or just save the money for a rainy day?

    Hi All,
    First off, good luck SS, know you will achieve your goal, almost certainly earlier than later!!
    Also to say Happy New Year to you all, probably not the right place to post this but have received inspiration from at least two posters here, namely SS ( your a bit of a naughty boy!!) & Hypno, also many, many more, would love to have a drink with you guys!!
    Not a great poster, but whenever things look a bit bleak alwayss know where to come for a boost.
    Wishing you all a DFW bestist (not Queen's english I know) great New Year.

    It's everyone else that's naughty, not me. :A

    I'm the type of bloke you take home to your mum. Although I can't promise I won't flirt with her! :p :rotfl:
