    Bear in mind that lots of users don't see signatures (it's just a control panel setting to keep the screen clear of clutter) so I, like thousands of others, have no idea what you are telling us.

    No glamour I'm afraid. It did only take 2 years which shocked me but loads of work. Getting into a payment plan so I didn't get charged. I did it myself as all the companies charge like £20+ and that was more i could have used to pay off my debt.

    Got rid of my gym membership, cinema memberhip etc. Sold everything I didn't need then I worked my main job 40 hours a week, Catolog 20 hours a week, a newspaper round and then distrubuting leaflets. Also tried to do those one day jobs during carnival etc. Saved every penny known to man.

    Fells weird having time to relax now :rotfl:
