Sorting it out!!!

A posted a help thread about a month ago as i was feeling very lost and could not see a way out of my debt! :(

But thanks to the advice of some kind people on here i dumped my debt company and got in contact with CCCS. I felt so much better after talking to a LOVELY lady and finally feel like its gonna get sorted out.

So, me and my husband have a joint DMP. Luckily we dont have to go through an IVA as i thought we would.

The next few years are gonna be difficult but at the same time i can feel proud of myself that im not burying my head in the sand anymore.

I have a new and better paid job now too which will certainly help! Now i just need to get my husband a better job. ;)

So i think i will be sticking around here for a while to pick up some more money saving tips!!! :D
