    I have just joined here today and I can't think of a better thread to read to inspire me to carry on with this. Well done, I hope to post my own thread like this in a few years' time too. :T

    Lunar, I am SO pleased for you.

    I joined in 2007 too and when I eventually started a diary the following year you were the first person to post on it offering support. You have no idea how often I go back to my diaries to have a read (and give myself a kick up the backside)

    It is brilliant to read how well you have done and that you are debt free!

    and even better news that you can't buy a new oufit

    Much Love

    Congratulations to you and your OH Lunar! :j :j :j It's really inspiring to read how much you have paid off in such little time, and with a little bubba to round it off! Must be a great feeling being debt free and also knowing that you won't need to worry about paying off debts when the little one is here. I recently started my diary and if I ever have a wobble I will remember your achievement to give me a kick up the butt! Well done :T
