So happy

Hi everyone:wave:
I'm so happy I've just paid £464.50 off my halifax card to bring it below £2000...it's such a boost to see it...below that:j :j :j
I'm posting this as if it weren't for all you wonderful people on here I wouldn't have got as far as I have now;) ;);)
You are all so kind and it helps so much that everyone is in the same boat!!...I have a long way to go before I clear all these debts but being on here and learning from everyone how to manage my money better has given me so much confidence and hope and I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel..
so to you all THANKSxxxxx

    Well done taxi73! My own debt dipped below the £1000 mark for the first time in about 5 years this month- hoping to make my final push on payday :) Keep at it- each time those milestones pass it will feel better and better!

    Thanks everyone...what lovely comments...it feels sweeter as I didn't think I could do much between Jan and March as being SE my income goes down drastically..so doing this has made me even more determined and I can't wait for the next milestone:j :j
