Who would have thought 150 pages ago, that I would be here now, doing this?
Not me. How life changes.
My life would never have come to this without the support of every one of you. When I was bogged down with threats from debt collectors, and creditors not playing ball - you all said I could do it and gave me hope that I would get it all under control.
It's under control of sorts, and I'm off to take what I've learned and start again. I won't be gone for long, I will be back on here, but I suspect the next 24 hours will be a whirlwind.
Just wanted to give my heartfelt thanks and love to you all. See you all on the other side lol!!!!LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

This post has made me so emotional and I wasn't even here to rally you on at the start. "Met" you just 3 months ago, although it feels like I've "known" you for ever and you persuaded me to get on-board the MSE train. I hope in just 4 years, (if not sooner) to be so much nearer my journey's end than I am right now, so that I can follow some of my life dreams rather than drowning under a sea of red letters.
In case I don't get time to post tomorrow, I wish you a very very safe flight and hope that your new life turns out to be everything you dreamed of and more.
Speak to you soon, good luck with the new job on Monday.
Lots of love and big big Granny hugs.

Its not 'goodbye' but see y'a........we will all be waiting to hear from you when you have settled in, but please just let us know you got there safe and sound.
I am a recent reader of your story, my debtfree journey is almost over, as long as I can keep OH on the straight and norrow that is.
I admire you so much for taking your debts by the throat and gradually getting rid of them. Now you are off to a new country, both of you with jobs that are going to give you a good standard of living and you more time with your family, no more flights to London to work. You have shown what can be done with guts and determination, a great example to those who follow.0 -
Another oldie with a new name popping out of lurkdom here Gargrave to wish you every success and happiness in Australia. You have achieved so much in the last few years and helped so many with all your letter templates etc
:):) Your diary has been great fun to read.
God bless from
