Paid off a bill I thought I would never clear - what worked for you?

My first paycheck after 3 weeks arrived today. I worked as a customer-service rep before this. It is a small amount, but it feels huge. Hoping it is the start of a better run.

Enjoy it. Go and have a cup of tea on the day.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
