    Hi Chick

    You're not moaning. You are taking small steps. Look at the ones you have taken today - clicks and ebaying.

    Re: the credit cards - can you send a token payment of £1 to show you are willing to pay the cards back but just need some time?

    Pipsmum - glad to hear Pip is ok.
    Milly = glad to hear the tests went ok
    Babyhead - sorry to hear about OH's friend.

    Waving to you all and off to do tasks like a mad one! Bit of a slow evening.

    thanks urg, with regards to the credit cards, i really need to sort it out and get them paid off, mortgage is due for renewal in december and at this rate my credit rating will not allow anything. ive been thinking about everything tonight and i just cant understand why i dont seem to manage time and get to grips with doing productive things.... i am failing everywhere at the moment.

    Hi Chick

    Have you done a Statement of Affairs? It's a really good tool for you to be able to set your budget. Post it on the site and get people to feedback. It can be quite revealing.

    If you are struggling to make your minimum payments you may need to look at Debt Management with a company like CCCS. I really don't know much and lots of others on the DFW would be able to help.

    Don't lose heart - the great thing is that you are starting to make steps to make changes to move forward. If you don't do this - you will be in a worse position in the future.

    Good luck
