I always wonder where you find all the different daily quotes. I definitely enjoy reading them - they are all so true!1

I like the daily quotes too. I even have a fav one so far (it's the tree) -lol.
Have you estimated yet when your debt will be paid? I know the target is before the 0 % is up but you've come so far in such a short space of time, I wondered if you'd calculated if it would be sooner than that based on your current payments?2 -

Thanks, I posted another tree related one today just for youSpendless said:I like the daily quotes too. I even have a fav one so far (it's the tree) -lol.

If you or anyone has any special quotes they would like to see then let me know and i will try my best to find some. I do have a lot more stored ready to use though so im no where near short of quotes to post yet.
I havent managed to get an accurate date as of yet, im waiting to see how much i can pay off in total this month, as this is my first month on my increased wage and it will give me a rough idea of how much on average i can expect to pay each month, and i can get a rough idea of how long the total outstanding debt will take to pay off in full. I estimate roughly another 9 months after this month. But we will see. Hopefully sooner but you never know what is around the corner do you.
Thanks for your kind words and comment of encouragement
