    :o Thanks :o it's been a long hard slog but the finish line is in sight and we can start actually living again! I can't believe how far we've come in 17 months i would be lying if i said the determination hadn't waned over this time and we've been on 2 holidays in this time but we have also made some serious cutbacks and don't feel sorry for doing them.

    I would recommend anyone in debt to do it the way we have. The hard way. Paying back every penny, making sacrifices and going without certain things as the pain makes you determined never to get in debt again!

    It will be great this month when DH can officially say HE is debt free as all the debt is now in my name :rotfl:

  • Thanks Sista for your kind words and encouragement. It will be really interesting to see how much debt I have paid off, compared to you, in 17 months time. Not that its a competition though...;)

    Hope everything is going well for you and DH this month (that's another month closer to your DFD!!).
