    It's a wonderful feeling isn't it. I know I still feel the old anxieties and sometimes struggle with thinking that I can't afford things but when you have been down the road of despondency you will never go back. We'll done to you.

    Great stuff, you must be so relieved. All the best for the future :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well that's it. Finally after five years and nearly £70k of debt and £150k of mortgage.......I am debt and mortgage free :T I have paid off my last credit card, the mortgage was cleared on Tuesday and I do not have an overdraft :T Feels a bit strange to be honest. To stay in the mse way I rounded down my current account and transferred the £8.19 to my savings account, very odd not to send it to the credit card.

    Today I bought a new slow cooker, turns out the old one got broken in the move, and some milk. I don't feel the need to buy anything else.

    I'm going to have to put a whole new budget in place and a savings plan too. A good start to December.

    Darling girl that's just awesome. Looking forward to these new adventures.
