    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Reading that has really lifted my spirits and made me more determined than ever.

    You have done so well by the looks of things, and now you can relax a little bit and enjoy life.

    Thanks to you all on DFW, without you I wouldn't be posting this thread

    No! The thank you should be for you.

    Thank you for such a lovely story and being such an inspiration to all those with a debt to ditch.

    Very well done.

    Congratulations!!!!

    What a lovely, lovely post, Themaccas, I am *so* pleased for you. I hope you really enjoy your debt freedom - and you make an interesting point about keeping on with dfw ways while not going for the mfw thing (hmmm, not yet anyway!).

    Absolutely right to just sit back and enjoy your family, well done you! All of you!

  • Following on from the Nerd note on advert page I had an interesting situation in Sainsburys on Sunday. Always looking for a better deal I spotted some reduced priced pineapple in store at 99p - Popping it quickly in the trolley I then noticed that it was BB 21st June (oops! it was out of date) I showed this to the lad on the floor who promptly tool it from me, gave me a full priced packet and instructed the cashier to charge me 99p - Bargain I'd say:j Happy Days !!!
