    Just wanted to say Congrats.

    I love when other people post up to say that they are debt free. You and all the others are an inspiration to the rest of us.

    It willl be a few years before I am DF but I hope to be in your position one day. Well done!:beer:

    Well done Mr & Mrs T. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you and your lovely man. I know how difficult things have been on your journey to this place you're at right now.

    This is a brand new chapter about to begin, and I feel so excited for you! I can see you both now on your bike/trike heading off into a romantic sunset, but that's possibly some dodgy mushrooms I ate for tea?!

    Well done! Lotsa love n noodles toodles xxxx

    Great news! As others have said it has not been easy and as the house has been the cause of so much stress it is good that you have (1) god rid ahem I mean sold it and (2) managed to pay the debt off.

    If you can manage it treat yourself as well as the children - off to find out what a "build a bear" is .....

    JUst checked the website - do you actually stuff and stich the bear? Sounds a little gruesome to me but then I can't cope with 18 movies.

    Yes they have a bear shaped piece of material which a machine injects the filling into, you get to choose allsorts of accessories and outfits!

    Obviously being [STRIKE]tight[/STRIKE] still careful with money, the bear will be fairly.........bare.:D
