I did it - I really, really am debt free TODAY!!

I cleared my last debt this afternoon. I had £2K savings, and I know they say you should use them - but I was clinging on to them. As my debt-free date was moving closer and closer I just couldn't wait any longer so I've bitten the bullet and used them to clear my last debt. (With the extra surplus on my SOA I can replace them fairly quickly anyway).
I could cry with relief.
To those who have done it already - I commend you.
To those who are following behind - it is possible - and it is a fantastic feeling. Good luck to you.
To Martin Lewis and this superb community - I thank you all!
(out for a family meal tonight to celebrate! - but on a 2 for 1 deal!!)
