1 year 52 days. Just managed to pay £10,000 off one of my loans!!! Now I only owe £14,997 in total on one lloyds loan, this will be gone by Xmas I am sure. Such a great feeling, better then any gambling session I ever attended!! Stop now people please
Great going Dave and congrats on clearing off your loan and on your recovery! Your diary is an inspiration to all. I am 36 days and reading your story gives me hope. Keep up the great work!
1 year 53 days - really tired this week, it actually reminds me of when I would work away and stay in a hotel near a casino and not go to bed until 4am then work come home shattered! Now it's working too hard, which is a massive reason I can not gamble, as work is my new addiction I reckon!!
