    Hi nitla, I hope you managed a good nights sleep.

    You have taken the hardest step, and that is to come on here and ask for help. that help will be available to you, along with support. We are very good at providing a listening ear for rants, a shoulder for tears, and sometimes just a bit of laughter to keep us sane.......:D

    The next step is to write everything down - grab a pad of paper and a pen and get brainstorming - write down everything you owe, everything that you spend, money that comes in etc. Then transfer it into the SOA and pop it on here and we can have a look and come up with ideas.

    Have a mooch around these boards, sign up for freebies, mystery shopping, challenges, how to make your shopping budget stretch further by cooking "old style" etc......you will soon see less pennies leaving your account, and more coming in.

    The biggest thing is "taking control" - once you have taken control, things are so much better. As I say, you have taken that first step, so you have done the hardest thing.

    Keep posting, and you will get there. Honest!
