  • Hello hello! I've been wading through your posts and you are truly an inspiration. I have horrible debts (just over £45,000 argh) and am finally going on a DMP to get them sorted. Am ebaying everything I can and have become a right old scab - whenever I see anyone trying to throw anything away I nab it in case it is ebayable!! My poor mum can't get to her recyling bins without me jumping in if I'm round there!

    I just wanted to say that I think you're doing an amazing job - I'm on my own so at least don't have any OH or children to think about - although that can sometimes make dealing with debt a lonely business.

    Anyway - just wanted to see a quick hi hi and hope you don't mind me joining in and reading - you've really given me some motivation!

    oh for goodness sake what is wrong with me?
    been awakes since about 3:17am in a big worry wart! ... duh O/D now 5K and no sign of money coming in till beg oct.. plenty going out though. why does my bank account have a mind of its own?

    need to really get a grip.

    gonna twitter i think - also opinions needed: gosh gonna sound like a right big head... but was thinking of turning my diary on here and the last 14 years into something a bit more meaningful to share with others to show how people can waste money - get into a right debt mess and live through it. does anyone out there in forumland think this would be of interest or am i talking up my own derriere?
    pls post!

  • Hello

    I think that this is a fantastic! idea-go girl!

    So-when income comes in end Sept/Oct-have you worked out how much breathing space it gives you and how with your OH's new job-your incomings/outgoings stack up?

    really really really hope that one exceeds the other and that you can sleep through the night for a good long while yet!

    Have a good day. I have to drive up to warwick tonight for an overnight meeting-just getting oragnised. Ebay is flying at the mo so on top of the 101 jobs to do before I can leave-also have to fit in trip to Post Office. love the money but its a right pain!

    Hope yours is going well? haven't forgotten the wetsuits......

    survival stories are always good & yours is one hell of a story, I say go for it

    whats twitter?:o
    I do not make mistakes, I learn lessons.
    I work to live, not live to work.
    I love to live & live to love.
    Good enough is exactly that.
