    thanks you guys! i must say that since i joined this site i have avidly read the dfw bit and have taken many many tips from here from you lovely lovely people, you guys really have been an inspiration to me to keep plodding on so a big thanks goes out to one and all especially that hunk of a man called martin who without him none of us would have back up or good solid advise and we would all be going it alone!

    i cant wait to live life to the full now! they say as one door closes another one opens, well i think im just about to walk through that door and theres a whole new world out there to explore! things have certainly changed for me now and i intend to fully enjoy every moment of it! i just told my other half on the phone about being debt free and he literally whooped in delight and punched the air and did a little dance, his workmates must of thought he was off his rocker:D

    i have a list of jobs that need doing around the house like getting the heating fixed and not having to boil a kettle for hot water, getting new taps on the bath that work, getting a new cooker (mine broke ages ago) even just down to general redecoration/painting my rotten windows and new carpets i have been in this house 6 years and have been unable because of debt to do anything to it, hopefully now each month i might be able to tackle these jobs one by one and actually feel pride in myself at actually getting somewhere instead of looking around my house and feeling depressed at the state of it and knowing there was not a cats chance of fixing it because my debts always came first. cant wait till next month now so that i can save my first £200 towards a new cooker and maybe we can actually have a decent homecooked meal for a change:j
