    Congratulations! You must be so proud of yourself!

    I'm on my way but still about 18 months to go...:( But the fact that you've done it is encouraging!:)

    Well done, I envy your position!

    I am heading for it too and with majorly overpaying things at the minute - I am aiming for DFD this December...

    It's a HARD slog when you get in deep with debt - but it does work itself out in the end - but ONLY if you truly want it to.

    Congrats to the OP!

  • Well done to backinbusiness. His children may think he is tight but the discovery of the many things that can be enjoyed for free in this country, such as playing football in a park, going for a walk etc, I am sure will inspire his children.
