A very happy day...

Hope nobody minds me posting this, but I just wanted to draw your attention to my signature, which I edited today.

My very first DMP payment has gone out of my bank, and I'm SO happy to see the figure come down, even if only a little bit!

I know it's not loads, but it's lovely to physically see the debt reducing for the first time :T:T:T

    Well done. You are right to feel chuffed with yourself and happy to see the debt reducing.

    I love my DMP - it really has changed my life for the better.

    Hi

    I have a new DMP too and my first payment will go 1st April. I am looking forward to see my first payment as well and will be happy like you are.

    Glad you posted this as I thought it was just me :D

    Well done, I remember that feeling the relief of knowing that there is a positive end to a horrible situation is lovely, will take time but you can live and breath again, xx

  • Yay for you! I have just sent off my documents for mine to get set up and I'm eagerly anticipating seeing that money leave my account (as weird as that seems).
    It'll be great to see those numbers going down no matter how slow they go.
