Time to sort it once and for all!
I've been on and off MSE for the best part of 4 years now and it's getting silly! I'm getting too old to be messing this up any more! This is diary number 3, I'm crap at keeping diaries but I'm thinking third time lucky - I may actually manage with this one, I have no good reason not to. Back story: Diary 1:…
It's not just about debt anymore. It's about living better too.
I joined MSE in April 2011 and with the help of my diary (Backfilling the hole I dug with my credit cards ) and my hubby (AllThatStuffIsJustStuff) I paid off over £10,000 of credit card debt :j I had a call from one of those debt consolidation companies the other day and it was one of my proudest moments when I said "No, I…
Over the Rainbow and Happy Ever After
So, that's what I'm aiming for - over the rainbow, where the skies are blue, the clouds have silver linings and we get our happy ever after. I had my LBM in July 2012, when my husband and I were turned down for a mortgage. We are building a house on our own land (farm) and are half-way there. We felt certain the bank would…

Getting myself sorted
Hello all, Been reading and posting on the boards for a while, but now decided to tell you all about me :o I'm going to be 25 soon, having just moved home after living with my (now ex!) boyfriend. During that time, I was rubbish at budgeting, ran up debts and generally got into very bad spening habbits. Good news is that…
Diary of a Struggling DFW
Good Afternoon MSE, I'm Tanya, I'm 28 and this is my 2nd attempt at becoming a DFW. Hopefully this will be the successful attempt... I did used to have a diary on these forums, but I neglected it and it's now languishing somewhere in the bowels of the forums never to be seen again. I was toying with resurrecting that…
Was Mortgage free/ now not.
Hi. Hopefully someone can give me some advice. I worked abroad for a while to help pay off major debts. I was paying off my mortgage in lump sums. Last June i telephoned my mortgage company to pay a normal monthly transaction only to be told due to my large repayments my mortgage arrears had been reduced to approx £2000.…
Dealing with the overdraft monster
Hi everyone, I'm starting this diary as a way to track my efforts to (finally, three years after graduating) get rid of my student overdraft. I actually started to try and get rid of it just after christmas, but had a minor career change of heart, quit my job, was unemployed for a month and have now been offered a new one…
