Finally going to be debt free!

Morning all, well from being at £30K 5 years ago (currently at £9430) I will finally be debt free in a matter of a few weeks :)

Been waiting for inheritence cheque from my Gran's estate (3 years since she passed away - v complicated house sales and so on) and got a call from the solicitor telling me what I am going to receive. There are only a few loose ends to sort out and then he will send out the cheque. It just about covers this amount and leaves a bit for the start of a house deposit!!!!!

Don't mean to gloat, it has been a very hard road but at least the end is in sight.

Take care all!:money:

    Definately is a weird feeling, will take you a while to get used to it. You'll probably end up being tight like me :0)
