Debt free me : )

Well folks after this morning's news http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=756749 I'm finaly debt free for the first time since I was 19.

:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

After reading the letter I did a full five minute dance and now I'm telling you guys.

It's been about four years since I started the quest for debt freeness and in that time I've cleared about 21 K

I just don't know what to do, it's a full 8 months before i was planning

Is it really too early to have a vodka??

    Thanks, i've just poured one :beer:

    I'm not quite sure what to do with my new found money, save up for a car, save up for a house?

    All those sort of plans can wait until after the summer, the next three months the spare cash will go on fun things... I'm off to california for a wedding in two weeks. I'm gonna do a lot of shopping while i'm there now as well. :rotfl:

    I'm still in a state of shock about it all, I just keep re-reading the letter again and again
