And I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done! And I am so proud of myself for turning down the numerous amount of new ones I have been offered, however tempting.
I am slowly but surely paying off my loan (took out a consolidation loan to pay off all £14k of my debts which was the best thing for me and hubby to do after looking at all the options) which has another 4 years to run but we have inherited a bit of money from my late father which we are hopefully going to plough into paying off the loan quicker so it maybe a bit less than 4years. Finally though I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and I hope and pray I never get into this financial mess again!
Sorry a bit of a useless and nothing post but had to write it down for my own pleasure!
