    Hi all

    Thanks to toffeepenny and everyone else for all the great posts, they have really cheered me up and spurred me on.

    this weekend im going to send off my token payments and notification of dmp to all my creditors. also going to finish sorting my new bank account out and cancelling old loan payment and standing orders. Then am just going to wait and see what happens regarding phone calls, as i need to face up to things, cant keep running away from it all.

    Think im just finding it hard as im dealing with a relationship breakup and depression at the same time as sorting the dmp out, but neverming im going to be positive and just go on this site and find you guys everytime i start feeling down about things :o)

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend,

    love
    Suzie

    Suzie, stick with it ... being debt free is far more important and, if you are not in a relationship now, just think ho wmuch more responsible you will feel when your in another knowing that you beat debt :)

    All I can recommend is taking it day by day and looking back seeing how far you have come rather than looking too far ahead. What you are going through I should imagine the money problems are the simplest to sort out in the long run.

    Take care and hope you have the best weekend possible.

    join Martin Lewis site
    find out about CCCS or Payplan
    chat most nights to total strangers with funny nicknames about things you wouldn't even dream of telling your work colleagues or family
    discover being in debt makes you stronger and that there are still weird people in the world but they tend to hang around on the internet

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    So true. We'll never get into this situation again though with all the knowledge and support from this site.

    Glad to hear your OH got work.

    All the best for 2009 to everyone here.
