    It IS boasting -and quite right too!!!!!! Well done :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    What a way to start off a new year and finish off an old one!

    My DF date is Dec 08 - it's great to hear of someone who's achieved my ambition!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Many thanks everyone - I think posting and getting your replies has made it all seem real. Reporting it to people who really understand is something i have been looking forward to doing and feels more like the end of the journey that the final payment!
    Don't worry, I plan on hanging around this board and thank you for the advice Keren - I do plan on carrying on with all the tricks I learnt - savings will be going on the mortgage!
    I have saved so much money by using this site that I would never want to go back to how it was before. I really want to get myself a safety net of some savings so that I don't have to go back to the credic cards as well as overpay the mortgage. It really becomes a way of life.
    Angelflower - the one thing I think that has contributed to getting me here has to be just coming to this site and reading the forums on a regular basis. Even if I just lurked I found out new ideas, was given inspiration and knew that I wasn't alone. Thanks again guys - I am sitting here with a huge smile on my face!

    Well done, it's always lovely to hear when someone else has become debt free. Enjoy yourself. My only advice would be to keep budgeting. We've been debt free for nearly 6 months now and have decided to stick to a strict budget as though we weren't back in debt we haven't saved as much as we'd have liked to. Well done again xx

    Nothing left!
