I've Only Gone And Bl**dy Done It!!!

Yippee:j . As of today we are officially debt free. Have been in debt for as long as I can remember, so to know that we owe nothing to nobody (except the mortgage that is and have made an overpayment of nearly £2k this year) am absolutely estatic!

Off to London today for a girlie weekend, staying in a nice hotel and seeing Dirty Dancing tomorrow night so really looking forward to that knowing I am DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying! :rotfl:

    That is wonderful. Don't forget to add yourself to the Roll of Honour.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
