in Debt-free wannabe
Today i recieved my compensation cheque for £2000:j Had given up on it tbh! Still dont know if i did the right thing accepting £1800 (£200 is for ohs excess he had to pay at the time) i still have daily shoulder and neck pain but ho hum its done now!:rolleyes: Means we can get our £9000 debts down to £7000. Rang a few of the companies earlier and got £86 knocked off one debt and £35 off another :T Two wouldnt budge though, think its cos they're not debt agencies. So now if we really pull our socks up our debt free date is Dec 2008:j I am soo happy right now, thought id post it here as its the only place where i know people will understand how i feel:)
EDIT: yay my 500th post :D

    Well done, this should really spur you on!!:T You know what they say about a bird in the hand!!
    I'm hoping that my hubby will get a tax rebate this year, that will be the difference as to whether we can possibly be debt free by the end of the year, If we are there is going to be one hell of a celebration DFW style mind you:D

    Well done on deciding to use it towards your debts. Must be a great feeling to know such a big sum is going to come off them all in one go.
