    Was super 'lucky' to be able to use a whiplash injury claim payout - One less debt and so so happy :)

    I'm all done too! <3:*B):o 

    All thanks to the effort over the last year and a half to reduce debt, support on here and the good fortune of selling my flat (due to the less good furtune of a chronic illness diagnosis meaning I've had to cut my hours and move back in with my mum for extra support)
