Thanks MSErs With your help I have paid off one of eleven debts

hope i'm posting this in the right place :o

yesterday i received a final settlement offer for one of our eleven debts managed by a debt handling company. thanks to all your hard work on here posting competitions and freebies, grabbits and discount codes i have saved enough cash to take them up on their offer. so now we have only ten debts. :T

it may not sound much but to us it is cause for celebration as we fight our way out of the train wreck that used to be our finances. :D

thankyou MSErs :A
