Hey Buffy
I can't believe I missed it all!
CONGRATULATIONS:j:j:j
I am so happy for you. You really do deserve it!
Enjoy the freedom that being debt free and more mobile provides you with.
I can't wait to hear about Buffy's Debt Free adventures.
Signs off with a cheesy grin!:D

buffy feel marginally less like death this morning so can i say again WELL DONE
How serendipidous (sp) is that that you get debt free and pass your test on the same deal. The world is now your lobster:D:D
Have had about 1 hours sleep and have two males barking like seals at the mo so no shred over the weekend. If I actually manage 24 hours without having to use my blue inhaler at max I will try and get onto the Shred on Monday....
You must be so boyed up now girl wow. Can you imagine how it is going to be next month when you have the debt and driving money still available to you.
On a more sensible level can I suggest that you set up a direct debit for half of the debt repayments and driving lesson money to go into a saving account, so that you don't miss it? You will still have more money a month to play around with, but you will still be saving too!
Once again WELL DONE. I am SO pleased for you. I know this will take two weights off your mind, and leave you more thinking capacity to deal with the other areas of your life.
Just look at this as the start of a good run....
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

Wow! I had to pop in to say Congratulations! You have worked so hard for this, you really deserve it and I'm sure both achievements will make a massive difference to your quality of life. I can't wait to hear about your Debt Free Adventures! _party_ _party_Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending0

Thank you every one!
I think it might have finally sunk in.
And Chev of course I am going to save!!!!!! I want a house.
or a really looooooooong holiday.
So now I can drive (obviously not been here cos I have been too busy driving!!) and I am debt free......welll next thing on the list!
or rather next things on the list,
1. WEIGHT!!!
Shred.
honest I am still looking for the dvd.........does searching count as exercise.
and maybe weight watchers.
2. House/Holiday......
I am going to open either an ISA or a standard savings account and call it the H fund(!)
I am also going to use my normal savings accounts (pets, union, CAR!!!!!!, birthdays) and keep up payments
I have two "forgotten accounts that have about 300 pounds in total, (one I have been paying ten pounds into for ages, the other one is an account I have had since I was a child) which was a surprise. Its weird, I seem to suddenly have money.
3. Being organised.
This is as I have said before at the root of ALL my problems re money (see forgotten bank accounts, cc, payments) work, stress, weight)
now I need to sort out my folder for tomorrow so am off now
See you all soon and thank you SO much for being here xxxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -
I have always said that it seems that those who have money gain money :T. Now where did I put that winning lottery ticket :cool:One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!
2015 - my Amazon Gift Certificate mini challenge - saving to buy small household electrical items.

I am really depressed tonight.
made a mistake at work and feel dreadful about it, about all of it to be honest. I really need some time off.
anyhow since that isnt going to happen I just have to get on with it.
and on that massively cheerful note I am away to bed.
