    Hi guys, I'm a new girl. I am trying to get out of debt, and then I decided to save £1 a day so I had an emergency fund and I had such great plans to not dip into it for a year. I had £60 and then had to spend £50 on the car, as there was no other choice. It's depressing. And the debts are still growing, until I get my first pay check for my new job (hurrah, have been unemployed since June). ho hum. Any encouragement or tips?

    hi rosepink, what a pain about your car :-( but at least you had the money to sort it! Do you do any moneymaking schemes? Dooyoo's a good one , also the free bingo scratchcards and things like quidco, feel free to ask any questions or do a forum search.

    Welcome to the thread :-)
