Getting ready for the big rush....

I've only been around for 9 months or so, but I take it there'll be lots of new friends joining us over the next few weeks? Christmas and the big sales are over, New Years Resolutions will be kicking in and credit card statements are received.

All I can say is well done to all who find this place. For most that will have been the most difficult part of the Debt Free Process!

Good luck everyone :)
Debt as at 12th July 2006 - £61,345 :eek: :eek: :eek:
Debt free 21st Oct 2011.

All thanks to :money:

    I was only thinking this the other day. I reckon the 2nd week of january- thats was the worst time of the year for me, overspet over Xmas, a week before payday, went mad in the sales, spent a bomb NYE, then realising you cant get to work for the week before payday!

    glad I wont be having it this year :)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Lets hope so James, its awful to see people so desperate because of debt but this is a great place to be when you do have that 'Lightbulb moment'.

    I guess many people will not realise until those credit card bills hit the doormat during January.
