I guess so. Mind you "those" saturdays were a lot better than the saturdays when I was repaying my debt thats for sure. I am not going to pretend being in debt was easy, it was the hardest few years of my life.

It will be great going back to London and not being in debt and actually being able to enjoy what it has to offer (although I dont want to be stuck there forever!!).......xx

Thanks! Im still overwhelmed by finally getting there, still cant believe it sometimes!:D

Hmm goals....well as hard as i worked paying off the debt i am now working to save instead. I want to save for a utility room outside (glorified shed lol) but thats really the only thing i want/need. Other than that I am just saving for the future. Ive no intention of buying a property and my rent is very reasonable with my housing !!!, so I guess I will just save for savings sake, and maybe to travel like you one day, but thats when the kids leave home which is a long way off lol:)

Well I am really pleased for you, it is great news!!! It is a strange feeling, especially when you carry the debt for so long - I have been debt free for almost 2 years, and a certain part of me still feels as though I have that tag!!

Youll have to have a grand opening of your utility room . Best of luck for the future, I hope you enjoy your new status, must feel like a weight has been lifted?! It did for me. xx
