    Hurrah :T:T:T

    Many congratulations, and although you won't actually be better off once the ex stops his payments, at least you won't have this millstone of debt around your neck!

    Enjoy!!
    Thanks ever so much :beer: It's a shame I won't have the last 7 months of those payments to adjust to it and enjoy, but hey that's life eh :rolleyes: you're right though, at last my money is now mine and not owed to somebody else for once icon7.gif

    Oh WOW, that's awesome if it is :j as I said if you need any motivation, give me a pm sometime, I know it can get pretty tiring trying to scrimp left, right and centre. I was left high and dry back in 1996 with 2 small mouths to feed, and was out selling stuff at car boots to get money to feed them, and got them collecting cans for spending money so we could go on a holiday - a Sun £9.50 one. Which looking back is probably why I stupidly welcomed student overdrafts and easy credit cards when I took myself off to college to get a decent job! Not that I spent frivously mind, it just built up and I didn't handle them well :o But Alvin and :money:changed all that thankfully :D

    Hi Savvy!
    Just wanted to say Congrats! I joined this site in Jan 2004 (under a different name) and was always an avid lurker/reader of the site.
    I reckon I've spread the word and coverted 100's to this site!
    (Pity I didn't have the guts to start posting then - I might have paid off my debts now too :o)
    Anyhow, I've read loads of your posts and am really happy that some good times have come your way. You deserve it! :T
