CCQueen Debt Free Diary

Hi Guys,

Benn lurking on the site for about a year nw and have decide to finally start jotting down my progress reports as reading everyone elses has motivated me so much in the past.

Basic sum up of my situation........ouch this is gonna hurt!!

Ok so I was married (currently doing divorce)
My Husband had depression and a lot of the debts he has a bit more than me now came from both being stupid with money and living beyond our means.

Also when i left my home 2 years ago now i signed my half over to him when we sold it (stupid mistake number one! this was on the basis he wouldn't contact me again (which lasted about 2 months)

So I have been on my debt free journey for 2 years now but only really focused since April 2008.

I now live in my friends spare room and work full time.

I am now desperate to get things gone and start living again and hopefully live on my own again and have a fresh start.

You can see from my signature the current situation I have done all the SOA etc previously so now its just a case of getting on with it!!

Just wanted a bit of support really and i know you are all really good at it so hopefully you can encourage me to continue.

Some days it just feels like one step forward and two back and thats kind of where i am at the moment hense writing this.

Any ideas for making money appreciated and any support you can offer too.

I will shut up now and will update soon.
