    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hey everyone, tomorrow is payday and I'm paying the last £89 off my laptop on my Very account. That means I will be officially 'debt-free' tomorrow! It feels really weird to think I joined this site in August 2010 with about 6-7 grand hanging over me. I think joining in this challenge has been one of the biggest factors in paying it off, so thank you jwil and all other challengeers!

    wow 166 million that's fab.... are you our first finisher of 2012? Must feel brilliant. I'm driving myself nuts trying to pay off extra money at the moment, I'm at that stage where it feels so close and yet so far....

    I know! I wasn't able to pay of in dribs and drabs throughout the month, so any extra money I did get, got filtered into an e-saver account to buid up for when I made my monthly payment. I think I'll still be forever desperate for payday anyhow!
