yes i am a showoff tonight as i have cleared...

another debt!! whoo hooo received some money the other week and been debating what to do with it!today i finally decided to clear another debt off! just paid £800.00 and cleared my egg card. Didnt bother with f&f as its not a dca so i doubt they would have budged, plus i would rather get them off my back as they are the ones who have kindly gone for ccj then co immediatley after, on another debt we owe them!least now it gives all my other debts a £1 extra a month on our dmp!hoping the judge will also look favourably on us as thats 6 debts,( i think) we have cleared this year, all be it small but staying positive believing every little helps!

so yes i am feeling big headed this evening!!

    Well done :beer: !! I remember that fantastic, brilliant feeling! I have been 'debt free' for a few years now, and am now MFW. THAT is just another bl**dy great debt, in fact, I think the boards ought to be merged!! Good luck, you now KNOW from your own efforts that you can get there!! :T
