    I'm not in debt, but I do think that people on this board and the OS board are like a family - it really gives me a lift when I hear that someone gets out of debt like this :D

    Thank you for all your kind words. :)
    It has been a long hard slog to achieve this (didn't have a holiday, haven't treated myself etc) but I am so happy now!

    Aww Jaymz,

    Congratulations, I'm so very pleased for you.

    Thanks to you making me question the loan overpayment situation, I too have nearly paid off my loan a year earlier.

    You should be very proud of yourself for what you have achieved with your resolve and determination.
