Debt gone

After realising I was getting nowhere in paying off my debts I stumbled across this site, and even though I haven't posted a diary or a SOA I have managed through reading other posters tales and ideas to be able to, today, pay off my debt:j :j :j
I've even managed to pay them off earlier than expected due to cutting back on things (also had some luck with a football bet):D The biggest thing for me which also got quite addictive was the snowball calculator, I was so shocked when it gave me my first debt free day that I was determined to pay more off each month just to make the day even sooner, well I've now managed to finally pay off the last bit of debt a whole 10 months sooner than it first said.
So thank you to everybody who posts on here for all the good advice on a whole host of things, the only thing left now is to reduce the mortgage, but without the debt and now being addicted to saving it should be a piece of cake:rotfl:

Well done you. Surprisingly addictive isn't it?Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
