    Thanks for the responses, From my own experience I've put my success post up to encourage people here to keep at it, or inspire those of you who've just hit the Light Bulb Moment that you can come out the other side.

    Although not a main poster here, I've observed many members countdowns to being debt free, (like ms_Londons excellent input - the older ones will remember her) I think it helped that I'd taken their inspiration, hope, commitment etc on board and now I'm here myself, just a shame I've havent been able to celebrate as my girlfriend works away during the week.

    Yay Martin too! :T

    Isn't this just like a mini revolution?

    Agree 100% with this comment silvercharming

    It definitely spurs me on to hear of people becoming debt free - I hope you really take the time to enjoy what you have achieved, and thanks for posting about your success! :T:T

    Congratulations. It is a wonderful feeling to be out of debt, just enjoy all the "spare" money you will now have. Ad don't forget to celebrate all your hard work.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
