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 peoplewe're getting there!!
Well done Karen ... your nearly there ... don't take your foot off the gas ... push on to the finish line.0 -

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 xx0
