Pay Day Tomorrow and No Wonga Loan

I've recently posted my SOA about my debt problems, as much as the long term looks a bit grim I have had to smile.
I get paid tomorrow and I have scraped through this last month without a payday loan.:j
I paid my payday loan last month and have managed (thanks to Ebay) to not re-new it this month.
I actually feel quite proud of myself.
Each time you smile, it'll only last a while.
Life may be scary, but it's only temporary
Everything in life is only for now

    Good for you, really well done.

    you are throwing a bridge

    Well done on staying away from the payday loans :T

    It might seem a long hard slog to get out of debt, but we'll all get there in the end :)

    Well done, that will also save you the interest on the loan so although you may have a long time to be totally out of debt its a big boost to know that you can do it and to lose one creditor :D
