I've just read your entire thread. Empathise with the ups and downs. Everything breaks at once for me. I live alone, just split from 10 yr relationship. Want to be MF asap and can't really afford the big sums either. How do you pay off the small amounts? Do you just go in to the bank? I know this sounds dense but I want to start chipping away.
I grow lots of stuff- potatoes, carrots, peas are really easy. Potatoes and carrots are good in pots too. I began eating my spuds at the end of july and they should last into November, if I'm lucky. Carrots stay in the ground until I want them. Sign up for the BBC Dig In campaign and get free seeds, aswell as online tips. It's been running for two years and I sign me, my dad and a few of my mates up when its time.
Keep at it.:beer:
