  • Evening!

    If you want motivation just look at my signature. I ignored my debt and before I knew it there was £36k (at its absolute highest), I don't know what level yours is at but if it is less then stop now, if it is more then come on and lets get it sorted

    Oh and welcome to the board, there are a few of us knocking around at this time of the evening. If you want serious advice then post in this thread and as well as people who are on tonight the day crew will pick it up tomorrow. If you want a natter there are daily chat threads and an ongoing thread called 'calling all night owls part 2' where people that are up at night can witter away about frivoloty. If you look at the moment we are discussing washing machines, laptops, shingles and men's tackle. Make of that what you will.

    Hi Matteosis from a fellow newbie:D

    I haven't posted my SOA or put my debts in my signature but I was proud to have taken the first step of posting on this board!

    I am sure you will find ONS of support - the guys on here sound so friendly!

    Now, mmmm, Maybe I should update my signature!!!!!!!!
