I'm not sure if this really counts but I realised today that the amount I hold in shares through work are now higher than my current debt (well it will be by the end of the month when I get my statement from my dad). I don't have access to these at the moment but it feels kinda nice to know that I have them there in the background.
As that is the case I will have a shandy!LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

Tried to convince OH to let me sell one of our TVs today to put more money towards my debt (we had one each when we moved in together and now one is the playstation TV in the dining room and the normal one in the lounge....he wasn't keen on parting with his playstation screen :rotfl::j PAID VERY, Barclaycard x3, Vanquis, Natwest, O/D, Tesco & MBNA x2 PAID :j LBM 24/07/15 - Original Debt: £0/31010.23 (100% paid) :eek:

My first huge milestone...the first of my 11 debts will be paid when October's payment to SC is made:j
I have also phoned the bank to check the balance outstanding on the loan...£45.23p:j This was a 10k loan and has taken me 5 years and 3 months to pay back on my DMP. When I first defaulted on my debts there was no way I could have made that phone call...and I could not have done all this without this forum and the different threads:T
I'm off for a lie down but I will be having a large glass of something later this evening.
