Lightbulb going strong

I'm very new to the MSE forums but can relate to so much and still finding lots of valuable information.
Had our LBM 15 months ago well before I knew what a LBM was.
Debts were manageable but spiralling. Since then budgeted properly and wiped out loads. Still got a debt which is in complete control and no longer have any CC bills. Use a CC all the time to get Tesco points/ Deals but only for things that can get cleared straight away. This way we benefit from 'free' nights out on Deals.
In the middle of selling/buying house which would have been impossible before LBM. I'm posting this to remind myself how much I've benefitted from my Lightbulb and how much I am benefitting from all the info on this board. Thanks to everyone who's provided this and GOOD LUCK to all other DFW's
