    match-box-smiley.gifI'm closing this Diary with 2 announcements.......

    1 - I'm debt free!!!!! Payday on the 27th of October cleared the last £327.88 of the dreadful credit card! Balance outstanding is now £0!!!!!! bliss-smiley.gif

    2. My daughter was born on Halloween at 19.44! We are both well. baby-smiley.gif

    I met my "kill the debt before baby arrives" challenge by only 4 days.....phew! But the main thing is I did it!

    It is now official that we as a family are outgrowing this house - so a new diary/journey is on the horizon for the mortgage.

    Thank you to everyone that has spurred me along on my DFW adventure! Big hugs x x hug2-smiley.gif
