It has been a long time coming but we only have 4 more payments to make :j:j:j:j 5th October cannot come quick enough!

We've also managed to keep it from our families for the past 5 years and feel very proud for getting ourselves out of debt without having to keep running back to them.

Hubby turns 30 next year and it's nice feeling to know he can start the next decade with all this stress behind us.

And yes we have more than learnt our lessons for being foolish - - young and very foolish!

    Well done, it must be a lovely feeling. We are only just starting out with the iva process but it's good to hear stories of hope from people at the other end :)

    Fantastic news, well done and nice one spaceman. When you start 5 years seems such a long time, but in reality it isn't. It's a horrible lesson to learn but puts you in a great position for the future.

    Judojub it'll come soon, keep it going
