Hi all,
Well after subscribing to this site for over a year now I have finally joined this chat forum.
I just wanted to join to say thank you to Martin who is the guru!
Also, I have decided to move back to my Mum and Dad's house (I am 23) to get rid of my debts and save up money to leave the country and marry my Australian boyfriend.
Without the support of this site and of course my parents, who are providing me with rent free accommodation, I would not be able to do this (as pride would have ruled my head rather than common sense!) so I am very very happy and am looking forward to a debt free start to a happier life.
I was like this
and now I am like this :T !!

Bank of Scotland CC £1,200 :eek:
Flexiloan £805 :rolleyes:
Bank Overdraft £30
I have just moved back to my parents house and will be able to pay about £500 a month off so hopefully in 4 months I will have my debts wiped out
