    Hello everyone:j

    I am actually sitting here crying into my computer. I am so moved by all your lovely messages.

    If I can do it, then anyone can, I am celebrating with a mini bottle of red, actually, when I made that last payment on internet banking, I felt a bit flat, don't know why, but after posting on here again, and reading all your lovely replies, I can see it has all been worth it.

    Hellxx

    Just want to congratulate you, well done!

    I started with about the same amount of debt as you and it has given me an enormous amount of encouragement to hear that it can be shifted! I know that I can do this if I buckle down.

    Any tips for those still bashing away at it?
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    Awesome, Hell1. Congratulations. Wish it was me instead! I could cope well with feeling a bit flat on the day I become debt free. In fact, I'll feel a bit flat for at least two weeks, if that's what it takes. A lifetime of debt free freedom to look forward to! Lucky you, and good on you. Most of us can only dream of the day.......
  • Just had a LBM 2 days ago. Feeling very despondent could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. My debts total about £40000. I am thinking of taking a DMP. Just to read your story gave me hope that this can be overcome. Thankyou.
