Debt free today

Am so excited:j:j!! After two years and seven months of work today I accumulated enough money in my savings account to pay off the last of my debt (sitting in a 0% Halifax card until Feb 2010)

Thankyou to everyone who helped me along the way on the DFW board and all the other boards and who read my diary. I couldn't have done this without this website!! I recommend it to everyone I know!

Next step is to become a mortagage free want to be!

    Well done you Betti! Thats brilliant news, don't forget to add yourself to the debt free roll of honour!

    From your signature that is a really impressive amount to clear in 2.5years.
