    Hi themaccas,

    I've been on these boards for years under a variety of names and I've followed your story for a long time.

    I just wanted to say WELL DONE, I think you are truly inspirational - 5 children, £44k debt, a house move, holidays and you've done it!

    I think you're a superstar. I'm in awe.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hi the Maccas for New Zealand
    Well done on paying off an awesome amount of debt. I dipped in and out of your diary as circumstances allowed and even if you did get some windfalls along the way, you still made sacrifices together to get through to this point.

    I don't really know you but I am very pleased for you

    Congratulations. You guys had soo much debt to pay off but you worked so hard to do it. I can't believe you are debt free already. It was a huge mountain to climb. Enjoy it - you so deserve it.
