Little bit at a time...
But every little helps said the old lady as she pee'd in the sea! (thanks Dad for that one) I have been 'overpaying' my debt bills for a few months now, that is things such as catalogues, ikea card, credit card etc. Even if I can only manage a couple of quid over the minimum payment. Like to think I have not got too much…

Just need a vent!
Last night dog managed to nearly kill my phone - not a biggie, phone is insured and the replacement will be here tomorrow (£25 excess *sigh* not a problem with a £400 phone tho!!) then this morning OH was leaving for work (2 nights away each week in Kent booo) and someone had left the window open on the passengers side and…

Those earning £10 a month thru Pigsback...
...is that basically just by doing the click thrus? I'm up to 640 and that's only after 4 or 5 days perhaps? :j However that is taking advantage of all the initial signing up for newsletters etc which are 50-100 points each. I'm lucky now if I'm getting a few click thrus a day. How do you do it? :confused:

Not very DFW but feeling sorry for myself
Hi gang..this isn't really DFW, but I am feeling a bit sorry for myself today Some of you may have read a post on Saturday about my weekend plans, which included taking my ageing artritic cats to the vets for an MOT. Well we went, he got wormed & some drops for his arthritis & had a good nosey round the vet's consulting…

Online grocery shopping... is it cheaper?
I know you can get online codes which can reduce your bill drastically and cover the cost of delivery BUT I'm a sucker for the reduced price section. There's nothing quite like the feeling of picking up a bargain. :D What do you think? Do a little bit of both?

Debt Matters - Are these another loan company?
I just saw an advert on TV for a company called Debt Matters. The advert goes on about how they offer advice and simple solutions. I found their website here http://www.debtmatters.co.uk/ but I can't help thinking they are a consolidation loan company and if so the advert is really misleading.

Am I overreacting?
I have just under £10k of manageable debt - which I want to clear as soon as humanly possible to be debt free. I don't really worry too much about it, I just would rather it be gone! and dont want it hanging over me for a second more than it needs to. My OH has much more (nearer £80k) all unsecured (£25k loan in parents…

Putting yourself first to get out of debt
I have realised over the past few days that one of the reasons I am in debt is because I am a people pleaser. Nights out with friends and fancy gifts are my way of keeping the peace and making sure people like me. I have decided enough is enough. I have been invited to 2 events over the next few weeks, a party and a…

When was it acceptable to spent £6 on ...
shampoo:eek: I'm running out of a number of items which I had bought before my DFW days such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel et al. I was looking at Boots.com last night for some offers and just couldn't believe I had been spending £6 on shampoo. What on earth has been happening? Why did I think before my DFW days that…

One step forward, many backwards...
Already mentioned this before but need to have a moan again... My car has failed it's MOT. The garage have said that it is not roadworthy at all and therefore not worth even trying to fix it. So I decided to apply for a small loan to get another old heap that would keep going for a year or two - guess what! Got turned…

Gutted
Just wanted a moan. My OH managed to get a job after 2 years. Worked like a horse for this last 2 weeks having being begged to go and work there by the owner of a business as he (the owner) was desperate. Got his first wage last Friday...we were jumping up and down with happiness...making plans for the future. This…

Where do I start ? no point going on !
Ok, don't know where to start. I currently rent with my children and am sick of being moved around because of landlords who want to renovate/sell/divorce settle etc. I need something more stable, but I struggle to get anywhere as my debts are monsterous. It started with my first partner I lived with. I had a good job and…
