    Fantastic news Steph, you have done so well. I now need to take a leave (or several) from your book and replenish my savings that have taken quite a hit this year, I need to eat out of stores and freezer, particularly as I had to turn down chance to buy pork from pigs raised by my young nephew. A rare occurrence for me, I actually had a NSD today:j

    Have a wonderful no credit Christmas, you have come so far, in so many ways this year.:beer:

    Well done what you have achieved this year is excellent and I think you will soon achieve you goal. I bet you never get in debt again !
    In a years time you will be saving money just think how good that will be ( except you then start to worry that you don't have enough savings LOL !)
    Relax have a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year
  • Steph, you have done absolutely AMAZINGLY this year. To pay off almost £10,000 in one year is simply astounding and I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that come this time next year, you'll be totally and completely debt free. You're truly an inspiration to so many on this site. You should be so proud of yourself and you deserve to celebrate your massive achievements so far! xxx

    I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas. Take care, RELAX, and enjoy yourself! ;)

    What a difference a year can make lovely lady, last year you were really struggling and now you have paid off £10k and are inspiring others starting down the path, just as others inspired you at the beginning of the year.:A

    Have a wonderful Christmas and give my love to beautiful Dorset.
