I'm congratulating myself - anyone care to help me out?

Hello all,

As you can see by my signature below I've now - and I've only just realised this myself whilst updating my accounts - broken the £10,000 barrier of outstanding debts! WHOO HOOOA! Ok so it excludes my mortgage but I'm still happy!

This time last year I was around £12,000 in debt so it's coming down and I've recently started making over payments per month which will have a big effect.

I just need someway to celebrate...any cheap DFW suggestions anyone?

    No cheapness suggestions from me unfortunately - I'm wracking my brain myself trying to find something ideally free to do for the weekend! If I think of anything - I'll let you know!!

    But well done on your achievement - it's a good feeling when you can see a significant difference in what you're doing!!

    I like the suggestion for treating yourself to something yummy from M&S.

    Good luck!
