    What a lovely and inspiring post.Thank you.

    Only other DFWs understand that the struggle can sometimes become overwhelming,especially when others (ie creditors) seem to keep kicking you while you're down.When your day has been full of red letters,harsh telephone calls and trying to make ends meet,it is great to come on here and get advice,inspiration and reassurance.

    You're all such nice folks.

    Whether your debt is £1 or £1000000 or like most of us....somewhere in between, a debt is a debt and can be very stressful. But we are all here because we have had our lightbulb moment or removal of head from the sandpit!!! So I'd say were we all well on our way to DFWSFL!!! (That's Debt Free Wannabe Stress Free Living!!) :j

    I too thank and salute all who've posted here as without your inspiring stories, moments of doubt and triumphs...I wouldn't get the motivation to continue to strive to be DF!!! :T

    But enouhg of my eulogising (sp?)...THANK CRUNCHIE ITS FRIDAY!!!!! :beer:
