Yeah I'm a little chuffed!
Paying off thousands of pounds in one go was a little scary, surreal and also amazing all at once!
I paid everything immediately because I didn't want any temptations! LOL
I will treat myself to a few small things like a River Cottage course and maybe a spa day - all well within my budget ability and as we're not doing a big holiday this year I don't even feel slightly guilty about it
Now it's going to be about savings! (And NOT spending them!!!)DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!

Phew - busy busy busy
Work is busy, I'm putting a bit away in savings which feels lovely, I'm allowing myself to enjoy some hobbies guiltfree and doing things for me for the first time in a long time!
My MSE habits seem strong though as I needed some new clothes and I couldn't help but check everything 5 pounds first LOL I still take more pleasure from getting something at a bargain price than being able to tell people how expensive something is LOL
Hope everyone is doing good too? DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!
