Hi everyone, long time user of the site here wanting to thank all the regular posters for the their time and effort. Whilst not always replying to threads by me their advice has nonetheless been invaluable and a great source of support and comfort.
I have come a long way since realising in August 2010 that I was 11k in the hole and it was getting worse. Since then I've budgeted like absolute crazy, and even though I'm debt free now I cannot revert from being a budgeter and nor do I wish to.
From what seemed like a hopeless situation I've managed to rid myself of ALL that debt, which took ten years to build in just two and a half. I'm really proud of myself.
Once again thank you to all posters on this site for being so cool, advice is sometimes blunt but always well intended and ALWAYS helpful to those that wish to be helped.
YAY!!!!
