Hi all,

I am finally debt free and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone, yes every single one of you. I picked up a lot of useful advice and inspiration by lurking and reading a lot of the posts on DFW so thank you all.

I would also like to personally thank Psychopathbabble, Jinky67, Gwen80, LeeSouthEast, Moo2moo, Tealady, Niddy, Di3004, zppp, Herewego, Savingholmes, Dec22, Natweststaffmember, robbedofmymoney and anyone else that I may have forgotten, who either helped me with my SOA, helping me with my PPI claim so that I could chuck the monies towards paying my debt or kept me going when I wanted to quit about 1 year ago - boy am I glad I didn't quit! I owe you guys big time! :beer:

THANK YOU!

    Thanks Dreamer!

    I think I would not have been able to without some of the support I have had on here.

    You have made some really good progress, I am sure you will be DF in no time.

    Thanks Saorsie,

    I certainly intend to stick around, and try to pass on the little bits that I have learnt on my journey.

    That is some achievement on the frugal living part! I must try that challenge one of these days.
