After being in debt for almost 12 years there is a massive light at the end of the tunnel! :j

To everyone that has reached their LBM, to those that are halfway, and to those that are nearly DF, please keep your spirits up! There WILL come a time when it is over :beer:

    £29k is a massive amount to have cleared - well done.
