10 days until I am debt free.....

I wish the time would just flaming hurry up now, I emptied my ISA and ING accounts so the money is sitting in my current account now (I am waiting for a call from the bank to ask why I have so much in there, and have I actually robbed a bank!!) :0) - so am just waiting for payday so that I can pay the final installment..... I am SOOOOOO looking forward to going into my branch next Thursday & handing over a cheque, it will be great!!!

Please tell me to shut up, but I cannot wait..so if you are all around next Thursday afternoon, you are invited to a debt free party on here, say 3pm :0)

:beer:

Also, for those of you that I told about the i-pod I paid for & never received, I have filed a claim through the small claim court & the scammer has admitted that he owes the money (I thought he would ignore the claim), so its just a case of actually getting the money now!!! Wish me luck. Still, its one step closer.....

Feeling a bit ill today so just want to get home & get into my bed!!!

Rambling over.

Happy Monday xx

  • :T Thats brilliant. Well done you. Please don't leave us once you are debt free as your advice and experience will help the rest of us reach our goals.

    Big hugs and :beer: .

    I'm very jealous!

    One thing to ask you, when did you first realise how much trouble you were in, and when you started paying it all back?
    A smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating that the heart is at home. :D

    Debt @ highest: £27,000 :eek: (May 2005)

    When I couldnt get any more credit, so end of 2002, and I moved to London in Jan 2003, but probably didnt start paying it back until May 2003 (when I had a regular income, and took on my second job....)....

    Also, everyone look out for the Christmas edition of "Essentials" magazine, (out 3rd November), as Ms_London is in there :0) - I'll let you know which page when I see it myself, how scary!!!!!!!!
  • Wow, your having some year!

    Believe me, the time will fly & soon you'll be thinking "Oooh, I only have 10 days until I am debt free". You will all get there, the time has flown for me, and it has definately been a rollercoster (this April particularly a bad period), just keep up the good work.

    Can't even imagine how "orgasmic" it's gonna feel! (couldn't think of any other way to describe it)

    How are you gonna celebrate ms_london? Big shopping spree? New car? ;)
