OMG!!!!! I am on the phone with a business school in the states - they want to order a set of 100 of the business Mind Mapping Books - you do realise what this would mean don't you???

I will be able to pay off the Big Horse Debt!!!!!! I could be DEBT FREE by the end of today!!!!!!

Claire - get to the Doctors!!

So here is the deal - if I can persuade them to pay on invoice and transfer funds today, then I will apply to the magazine if someone can help me draft what I should say in the email.

OMG!!!! Hate hanging on the phone - what's keeping them?????

Woooohoooo!!!! 10 K paid in less than 2 years - that's gotta be worth a story.

Check out the blog - I have a pattern for the sofa.

OK I am wittering now - back when I have news

Next thing is to get them to book you as a speaker, all expenses paid. Maybe, if it's during school hols you could take DS1 with you to start his travels

On tenterhooks!! :eek:

Would be happy to help you with the magazine email on the 'other side'. You have to do it anyways, MG if you're going to be MFI3. That would be £200 off the mortgage (or lots of champagne for becoming DF )

OK ladies - a promise is a promise is a promise:D

The USA guys won't pay on receipt of an email invoice, but will on receipt of the books and proper invoice. They will even do an electronic transfer as I have told hem that their deal will make me debt free and they are almost as excited as I am:j:j:j

So - books are being collected by courier at 6pm - and I think I am

"OFFICIALLY DEBT FREE"

I am shaking, shaking, shaking!!!!! The kids have no idea what we are excited about - just that we all are. :j:j:j

So I have emailed Ms Baty as I promised - here is what I wrote. If you want to add anything to this then I suggest you can contact her as well on my behalf.


"This email is in response to a request by one of the MSE Mods for good stories - and about 35 Personal Messages today telling me to drop you a line.

Today I became Debt Free - having paid off £10K of debt in 23 months and 3 days. My business was credit crunched and on the 16th Nov two years ago I was left literally with "71p and three nappies". A year on benefits and a year working around my two boys 11 and 3 and I finally have paid off the last of a 10K debt - and I won't kid you it has been tough.

You know what they say "you don't know how strong a woman is until you drop her in hot water" - well I am now strong enough to creosote fences with!!!

I have "pinched my pennies" over the last two years by doing exactly what my Granny would have done during the war - I have become a "Make Do and Mend" Queen - made my toddlers next two years wardrobes by remaking men's trouser and shirts from the charity shop pound racks. I was gifted a black bin-bag of wool on Freecycle and have knitted him all his layers.

I dedicated £5 per week to building myself a store cupboard - and although my mates now call it the "Armageddon Cupboard" (it will save my during any disaster) it has enabled me to cut our family food budget to about £15 per week (that's for me and two littlies BTW). We cook from scratch, bake our bread and love our pressure and slow-cooker.

My current "madness project" is to recover two charity shop sofas for less than £10 using recycled cotton curtains - you can follow the progress on here https://www.mortgagefreeinthree.com - because you have guessed it, the next challenge is to pay off my mortgage of £125K in three years to get my boys the financial security they deserve.

In the meantime I am aiming to completely refurbish my home on less than £500 - don't know how but I am willing to give it a good old go - (Lots of "Free-I-Y I'm thinking)

There, I have done as I promised and made contact - now if you don't mind, the boys and I are going to celebrate being debt free with a pot of tea and a ginger snap biscuit (would you like the recipe LOL)

You can contact me on this email or directly on *********** - but whatever happens I hope you find the perfect story to fit your needs.

Love it MG so am pretty sure they will too.

Damn can't even toast your debt free status as I've got the kids. Will have to have a tipple in your favour later on
