    That is excellent news, well done and congratulations on reaching your goal. Sounds like you have learnt some valuable lessons along the way too.
    Thank you for sharing your success story, you have inspired me to sort my finances out and get on top of the debts before they get on top on me!
    Keep up the good work and good luck with the £2 savers club!

    WELL DONE
