    wow you must feel amazing right now Bob

    I think it'll really seem real, when I get paid in April, and there's an extra £240-ish left in my main bank account.

    Barely a month from now, it'll be a whole year, since the bank loan ended. :)

    I can vouch for the amazing feeling that being debt-free can bring.
    A word of advice is not to go too mad, as building a cushion of savings is vital to avoid disaster when unforseen bills come. I, myself am facing one of those; but I did have my cushion of savings which means all I have to do is work on building them(savings) back up, rather than facing debt again. Good luck all DFW's- it's all worth it!

    As of this morning, my Bank Loan is GONE - ENDED - FINISHED.

    To paraphrase Monty Python - "This is an ex-Bank Loan"

    I literally have just a year to go on mine.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.
