Quick Success Story...

Forumite
Pay day today - and quite a big one - for the first time in...ooh, maybe 7 or 8 years (since before uni) the balance in my bank account is actually larger than my debts -and still will be by the end of the month - so am officially declaring myself as debt-free
Since leaving uni (3 years) I've paid off 9k of postgrad loan, 10k car loan (perhaps a little excessive, in retrospect ), £1k in loans from family, £,1500 of overdraft and around £5k in CC debt.
(I suppose, technically, I've probably paid back a grand of so of my student loan - but not really counting that here )
Anyway, just to thank everyone on here for all their help and support - hope it's onwards and upwards from here
