  • hey, well done!!
    I saw your note on the (elusive) debt free roll of honour thread, and was looking for your diary to say congrats!!

    It must be a good good feeling, and on your birthday too?!?

    Good luck with that morgage... maybe one day I'll see you on that board too (if only I could buy a house one day *sigh* )

    Have been following your thread for ages now. Congratulations and Well Done. But I think by far the best thing you have achieved, apart from becoming debt free, is having acquired a completely philosophy about handling your financial affairs., which will be invaluable for you in the future. How wonderful it will be for you to sleep easily at night, no longer worrying about your debts. Good luck going forward.
