:wave: Hello my lovelies,

I thought I'd better do another update as things have moved on a little.

I haven't signed up for CDWM,

but once we're all shinily debt free I'll have room in my brain for stuff like that so I'm not ruling it out!

We have paid off the Mystery Loan with a full and final settlement figure which means the last of our debts is gone... :eek: :eek: :eek:

BUT...Because I couldn't get them any lower than £11,500 it took every penny we have and we're now living in the overdraft until I get paid. ( The day after tomorrow.) And next month will be tight, as we'll be living on half the amount of money that we're used to.

So we're not officially debt free yet.

But it feels like we are!

It's a really weird feeling. What am I going to do with myself now every waking thought doesn't have to be about debt repayment????

The money we earn is ours now.

The best bit is that Hubby is doing a p/t college course at the moment and he can take any job he fancies now (or any job he can get! :rolleyes: ) cos we're no longer in thrall to the massive debts.

Blimey. It's a whole new world!

Love Jacks xxx
