Celebrated anniversary of sorts with LM last night and decided to stay in and cook together rather than head out and spend... was worrying I was becoming a right miserable sod but the weather was blooming awful in the end and I was glad we didn't have to brave it. We are on a self imposed spending diet and I'm just worrying we get too obsessed but hopefully as it's only til June it'll be ok. I am taking DS out to cinema tomorrow though so must remember student card for discount:o
Working tomorrow and lots of essay writing this weekend, have overcome a sort of blockage though so hopefully it'll be quite easy to write now. Have read tons!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

You're missing the "and proud" bit. You're supposed to announce you debt-freeness on the Debt-Free thread. Then the heavens will open, choirs will sing, cats will crash and a badger will give you a badge...
But congratulations to beanie all the same... :T:T:T:T :kisses3:"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I'm pretty sure I did announce it on there at the time but was a few years back now so maybe it doesn't count?Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I've searched for your posts, and there's nothing apart from congratulating beanie. The thread itself goes back to 2006.
Perhaps you announced it on some other thread?
