    wow that's amazing people! well done!
    I'm having a bucks fizz this morning - well a bottle of fizz and a slice of orange! to celebrate getting my debt under 5k. I cannot believe it. I have not been in this little debt for 20 years. I always said I'd freak out if it went this low, well i'm not freaking out I'm just excited and proud and grateful and all sorts of other things.... if I can do this, anyone can so let's truck on people :) we're getting there!!

    Well done Karen ... your nearly there ... don't take your foot off the gas ... push on to the finish line.

    It's official, I am loan-free!!

    Still got rather too much remaining on CCs but all are interest free at the moment so I'm still smashing the debt, and at least I am no longer paying interest :D

    I'll have a water please (diet needs to start going as well as debt busting :o)

    Evening everyone, well I've done it I am now debt free (though do still have mortgage) I thought I'd feel elated but for reason I don't! My DS1 is getting married next year and my DD is going on an expensive oversea school trip so I now have to save like crazy! Swift half for me tonight, keep going everyone xx
  • Debt is now 25% paid off!

    2500 of 10,000 paid in about a year and a half :)

    My emergency fund is also looking healthy and I feel like I'm living my life rather then pausing so super happy!

  • Joining in here, I've paid over 50% off now. With my next payment or so I'll be below the 10k mark, which will be immense. Just wish I could fastforward 16 months until it's all clear!
