*ta-da* :beer::j:T_party_
'Tis done! I sent the payment this morning as soon as I had a text confirming my pay had gone in...
... so I am now Free Of Old Debt!!!
That Last Card is clear while still on its 0% and I am out from under the pile of pre-LBM credit within this financial year! (by a whisker, but I didn't think I was going to make it at all!).
I'm staying in :rotfl:as I have an early start tomorrow and besides I don't think it's really sunk in yet!
Pralines, cocktails, and yummy things of your choice all round :T... stereo on, floor clear... Thread Party!!

FOUND YOU
cant hide from me now I have subscribed
fancy being good at school - I think I was just a creep if I am honest
off to do some readingEmergency fund £10,000
Several categories with savings in
Cars, house maintenance, birthdays
Etc I have about 10 categories
Really happy to be debt free after being a compulsive spender0 -
- Last remaining long term card cleared, and I will phone up to close it on Friday night. :j
- I have made a part payment to help get rid of the train ticket on the MyBank card and will clear it next payday. :T
- Bills all paid or set up ready to go on the right date.
- Starting to refill the pots I raided to clear the Last Card, and will be able to do this a bit faster once the college fees issue (:mad:) is clarified. I will also put up the payments on the 'car loan' from my parents (I'm not counting this as a real debt since it is flexible and goes into a savings account anyway).
I think *crosses fingers, touches wood, etc* I will be able to be fully DF at my June payday. Not long now
