I've done it

It's payday today which means i will be giving my last payment of £900 to my folks and be debt free :j
When i first wrote on here about my debt due to gambling i never in a million years thought i could do it. So thanks to everyone on here for the courage and support you gave me, and continued to give me through the last few years. Without this thread i could have taken a very different road as i thought i was a lost cause.

Time to move on now, I am buying a flat of my own again after having to move home and will be recieving some inheritance soon that will be paying the deposit/fees etc.
I will definitely take all the tips and advice given here with me.

Thank you xx
