    Hello pink-jen, welcome from a fellow newbie! Hope you do go ahead with confessing all to a friend - it's a brave thing to do and I hope it helps you to get someone who cares about you onside. I'm the same as you - have been lurking around the boards for ages without actually posting anything, but the people on here are fantastic, and their stories inspiring. I've avoided many a no-money-blues shopping spree just by reading some of the boards and getting a reality check! Good luck and keep believing it will get better!

    Joint debt at worst £17000
    Current Joint Debt £8800
    Joint Income £30000

    After lurking for so long, I know that everyone on the boards are fantastic. I'd just like to say a big thankyou to everyone who does post, as I'm sure that there are many like me, who read them, and really appreciate it, even though we don't say it! :D :T
