8.23AM - I've made it!!

At 8.23am this morning I rang the 0870 number (no alternative on saynoto0870.com site) of the last company I owed money (on 0% deal, of course!) and paid off the entire balance.
I'm now officially debt free!!!!!!:beer: :beer: :j :j :j :beer:

There are no loans, no HP, no credit card balances, no overdraft and no £100 here or there to anyone. And it feels bloody fantastic. Oh yes!

(Ok, I still have the mortgage, but I'm not counting that - although I'm hot-footing it over to the mortgage-free board next to start on demolishing it.)

A massive thank you to MSE'ers everywhere......the tips, advice and support have been brilliant. I may have become a skinflint, virtual hermit in my quest, but it's been well worth the sacrifices as now I can do what I like with my money without worrying. I've even opened an ISA. My debt pile was nothing in comparison to some tales I've read on here, but I just want to say to everyone who'se struggling that have faith, use the advice & support and you WILL get there. Maybe slowly, but you will!

I'm off for a well-deserved freshly brewed morning coffee - bought on a BOGOF with reward vouchers!:D

:money: ROCKS!
