    Wow! Thanks for the response everyone! Glad its an inspiration! Apart from a few months in 2004 debt free, I've been in debt since 2002, so I'm really pleased today, though I don't think it will sink in until next payday when I actually have to decide where to save my spare money! What a novel thought! Now I have to go to another forum to look into savings accounts!

    Best of luck everyone, I'll still lurk to help you along when it gets tough because it certainly will. I remember some months being unable to pay anything towards my debt because of unforeseen bills and its hard, but you have to keep going.
