Hi all

Feels very strange I must say as I was in debt for almost 10 years. I love it though! Just wanted to say to anyone struggling at the moment, take on board all the tips on here and keep at it! It will be so worth it in the end.
Thanks again everyone

Well done queen piggy :j
I just thought, wow, ten years, and then realised I'm the same!!
Great news0 -
I will do the roll of honor I forgot about that
No tips other than stick at it and do everything that is advised on here and by Martin.
One thing I did was work on a spreadsheet of money going out and money coming off debts etc. I guess most of us do that though. Really helped my motivation to see the numbers coming down every month
Sell as much as poss too, that helped me out a lot.:T Became debt free May 2008 :T
