Fire Fox: Thank you. That was quite a humbling post.
Sorry I haven't replied until now, I've been off on a residential course and just got back. You're right: this journey has had a lasting affect on me, for the better.
Buffy: I'll be sure to share!! I got my first credit card virtually on my 18th birthday, and only managed to pay it off 2 months ago at the age of 26.5. Madness.Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009. DFD: 20/11/2009 :j

Hmm. So. Payday today.
Still not quite sure how I feel, other than very relieved. I now had enough to last the month, put most of the packet into my savings account, and clear my last loan in full.
Job done. What a strange feeling; not owing anyone anything.
I just had a double-whopper meal with bacon AND cheese at Burger King to celebrate. Best £6.89 ever spent. In cash, of course. :A
Thanks for all your support, those who have posted here or offered support elsewhere over the last 10-11 months. If you're still fighting - keep fighting - your day of BK celebration (or your guilty pleasure of choice) will arrive before you know it!Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009. DFD: 20/11/2009 :j

I think I made it early just by virtue of almost killing myself this year in overtime. In hindsight, I'm not sure I'd do it again! But, as I sit here thinking about it, it was worth every bleary-eyed minute of it.
