Thanks all. I'm a bit concerned that I've paid the debt off using my boiler replacement fund but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Hopefully I can build it back up somehow.3

Congratulations @CRANKY40
Of course, you will be able to repay yourself the boiler fund.
1. Celebrate being debt free, maybe just a cup of tea and a biscuit, remember to reflect on why you wanted the debt cleared, what it feels like to not be in debt.
2. Have confidence in yourself that you can build up your savings
3. Make yourself a list of all the things your can do to save money, make money (grow your own, meal planning, batch cooking, surveys..)
4. Write a statement of affairs
5. Write a realistic budget
6. Ensure your savings are pulling their weight and are earning decent interest.

Brilliant that you’ve paid off the debt, I’m sure you’ll build the emergency fund back up.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.2

Thanks @Baileys_Babe. I write my budget down every month and tick items off as they are paid. I've done that every month for the last 15 years or so. I put money aside every month for Christmas and birthday presents. Likewise I've always batch cooked for the freezer. I've moved my savings to a better rate of interest.....I'm confident that I can stay out of debt now because I can't afford to be in debt. If I don't have the money for something now then I just can't have it. Simple as that.6
