31k NO MORE ! NEVER AGAIN!

AJLondon · 2 February 2010 at 4:17PM

Hi all

I am starting this diary after deadling with my situation that I have discussed here and am starting my long journey on the road to recovery and getting my life back together, proposing to my OH who has stood by me for 8 years and again now at my lowest point of my life and to make everything up to her!

Its gonna take me approx 5 years but I plan to post on here every month the updates so far.

As it stands, and as I start my journey I am sitting here typing this now with 3 unsecured loans.. 1= 16,000, 2= 9250.00 and 3 = 3,000 and a credit card balance of 2,500.

Time to take the long road to recovery! Wish me luck!

I kmow how you are feeling! Remember that feeling when you want to spend!!x Good luck!

Good luck AJ!

I followed your other thread with much interest and I really do wish you (and your girlfriend) all the luck in the world.

I'm really hopeful for my DFD to be 1/7/14 - I will get there...and so will you!

Good Luck AJ and it's great to hear you are feeling positive again (I was following your other post).

Thanks Guys, it means alot (even if sometimes it doesn't come across that way!)

Hey AJ...I've snuck over from your old thread. Best of luck with this one, and remember: once you've hit rock bottom, the only way is up!

I look forward to the updates.

Good luck AJ, I started reading you other post and wondered how you were doing. Great to see this diary so will pop in and out to see you beat this.

Hi AJ, though i'd pop over to see how you're doing.

So... how are you doing?
Noticed you've not posted for a while. Hope that's down to the overtime you got.

Are you keeping a spending diary so you can see where every penny is going? It can get a bit monotonous but worth it if you can highlight some savings.

If you are paying interest on the creditcard it might be worth trying to get a 0% deal in a few months. (Didn't read through all the old thread).

Edit: Just finished reading the old thread.
Really feel for you, but i'm sure you're strong enough to deal with this. I have a few queries about the loans and card, but will PM you tomorrow - i need my beauty sleep

Hi AJ

Noticed you hadn't posted this last week. Hope things are still going well for you and GF and you have been so busy that you just havent had time to come and visit us in DFW land:D

Looking forward to seeing updates soon.

Hi AJ, everything okay?

Keep going, just one day at a time.
