GeorgeUK's "don't fall off" Diary

Options
Right - going to hopefully keep this going until i get all my debt cleared. There should be an entry a month just to keep the payments tcking over so that i can stay on track but also will post up anything that changes in my day to day life that is connected to debt or the reasons behind it.

I have done a pretty big post on it here
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=13702811#post13702811
but the short version is i've been gambling again. Hence the new signature.

Hopefully i'll stay on track this time and try to cut out any diversions.
Wish me luck
I'm going to need it.

  • Hi George

    I just read your post on the other thread and I don't know what to say apart from I wish you every success in kicking this thing.

    My emotional crutch was spending and you can see from my siggy what trouble that got me in. My old ways have recently been creeping back in too and I also need to get a grip again so I look forward to seeing you stay on the straight and narrow while I try to get my own demons back under control

    All the best of luck to you

    You always have offered such honest advice to many many posters:T . I wish you a trouble free debt free journey, you can do this.

    We won't let you fall off, we'll catch you before falling.:D

    All the best
