    Thanks January :)

    Was talking to Mrs D last night about it. Will have around £1300 a month extra that we didn't have this time last year, and so looking forward to it :D

  • Go on a nice relaxing holiday (especially if you haven't had one since starting your debt free journey!)

    It doesn't have to be extravagant!

    Funnily enough, we were talking about that as well. We haven't had a holiday together. We have a small pup, so that restricts us to this country.

    I'm also going to look at throwing more into the pension pot, not sure how yet, avc's or if I am allowed to add to it.

    Life is on the up :D

    Hi Guys,

    Quick update time.

    So far this week the postman has been a bit busy.

    Monday knock back from John Lewis. Stated that I'd filled it in myself, even though I don't remember doing it.

    Wednesday, Capital One, looking deeper into it. Another four week wait. :(

    Today, Santander have accepted my claim and sent the form out for £2500 :D:D:D

    Likes like I'll be debt free sooner than I thought :D

    Once again guys, thank you so much for your wonderful help :D

    It has taken a lot Katy Ann, couldn't have done it without my wonderful g/f and the help I got on here for the PPI claims :D

    DFW's: Keep in there, the light might be just a little spot at the moment, but it does get brighter the closer you get to the end of that long tunnel :D
