Hi all
Six weeks ago , I had problems. No income , only 8 hours work a week from a part time job. Creditors getting on my back. Phonecalls from 8 am til 10 pm.
Was feeling down. Depressed. Thought about using the last of my savings to run away.
Six weeks late r, I have a job , I have 24 hours a week at my aprt time place. I have laods of private work using my skill set building up.
I am not counting my chickens , but the next 4 months could be very lucrative for me.
So , keep your heads up , Get advise where needed , and above all ditch the credit.
I have years of aggro to come , but right now at 17:10 on Sunday , I am happier now then in the last 5 years.
I am not goign to scrape the barrel to pay creditors , they get what i can afford and no more. If one wishes to bankrupt me then good fro them. I will let it be known to those that are helping me that their advice and help was appreciated.

WOO WOO!
As cheesy as it may sound John, that to me was pretty inspirational. Every so often I think we all need to give ourselves a talking to, whether its a pat on the back and big well done or a kick up the jacksie to get on the ball.
After reading that I thought "Yeah...........YEAH!"
So now I feel a lot better about what I'm doing!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
Good on you John - glad things are working out for you.
