All paid off just need to wait for the accounts to be closed. Cancelled the monthly direct debit, that bit was really nice knowing that the £700+ that has been going out each month is now ours. DH now firmly on board :rotfl:
Plans now
* Start living to our new budget which has more money for fun things starting with a meal out on Saturday night.
* Have a few long overdue home improvements done.
* Update my wardrobe with a few new things.
* Take little ones to EuroDisney in a few years time
Things I'm going to carry on doing
* Watching our grocery spends
* Selling things we no longer need
* Reviewing on DY as I really enjoy it
Will still be reading diaries and looking forward to seeing you all becoming MF too
