    So I have a couple to report today. Firstly I have now paid off over 90% of my debt (the capital anyway, I still have to pay back the interest that my dad has been covering but I don't know what that is at the moment).

    Secondly, and although not strictly a financial milestone, today I have been gambling free for 3 years!!! Looking back it has gone really quickly, although it didn't feel like that in the early months, and things have definitely got easier as time has gone on.

    I like my gin and heard that it works really well with Earl Grey, I haven't tried it but if you could serve me up one of those I will gladly try it!
    LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

    The bar is serving doubles for free today!! I have managed to get my debt into the 6000s (by a tiny amount but still!)! I am so so pleased! *does victory lap around pub car park with bottle of sherry whilst wearing a christmas hat* *falls over grinning* *gets up excitedly to go and update signature, still grinning, staggers slightly*

    drink up people! we're doing great!

  • Well done Muhren - a fantastic achievement!


    I raise my glass to you Karen, it's a major boost when you drop a thousand (even if it just dips under):cool:

  • I have warned you all that I'm going to be giddy and hopefully post lots of milestones on here between now and the end of 2016:o


    I've just logged onto Stepchange and I no longer have any debt over 2k:D...I have 4 debts over 1k and 6 under 1k and 1 totally paid off;)


    Originally, I had 3 debts over 6k and several more between 3-4k:eek:


    It doesn't take much to make me happy these days.


    A large Vodka and Coke for me

    Well done Karen. It doesn't matter if it's just £1 in, it's still in :)
