    Congrats on becoming debt free Ellie - I've been following your diary so keeping track. You must feel so relieved. Hope the champers tasted lovely! We were all rooting for you. You and others who have achieved being debt free are an inspiration to all of us on here.

    Morning all,

    Thank you for the good wishes re: my debt-free status. It's not sunk in yet and probably won't do until next payday when I have a chunk of money left that would normally go to paying debts;)

    All totals updated where requested, we've got some great amounts so far. I love this challenge and putting my ££'s away is now part of my normal daily routine. I think it's amazing how it mounts up through the year with very little effort:)

    Enjoy your Sunday everyone
