Happy Today

I just wanted to say i feel happy today. I've finally finished my payment plan to pay off my overdraft this week. That 6 months has gone fast and to be honest when i started it, i didn't know how we would get to the end of it without Barclays closing my account down cause i couldn't afford to pay back £140 a month. But some how we did it. We have cut things back to the bare minimum and it worked. The next thing to pay is the in laws back £500 that we borrowed last year when our car died. I'vve got £400 of overtime to come next month so that shouldn't be too difficult.
I've also worked out today that i only have 7 more payments on my loan and that was over 4 years. I feel so much lighter now we are ticking things off our debt list. Best thing i ever did coming on this forum.
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN ADVICE ON HERE XXXXX:j
