    Surely you could sell some of your daughters old clothes to clear the next bill, at the very least?

    All Good Points-i Have Previously Sold Her Clothes On Ebay And Put The Money On The Credit Card So Tomorrow I Will Get Another Box Together-i Try And Buy Her Clothes In Sales (next Was An Emergency!) But I Will Try And Shop Around For Cheaper Options I Dont Know Anyone Who Could Give Me Their Childrens Cast Offs But Maybe Charity Shops Would Be An Option Although Not Keen On This I Suppose Needs Must- I Will Also Start Packing Boxes And Anything Unwanted Will Go On Ebay X X

    you must have a suite in your home too, you might get some money for that if you dont need it?

    who was it who had in thier sig, "whatever doesnt pay rent must pay up or be sold?" that sig is so true!

    And the best bit it cost no money;)

    I do really wish you all the best. You seemed to be getting geared up.

    As you are starting to pack put things to one side that you will sell on ebay. I believe it is 5p listing day today.

    So if you have anything you want to list get to it now:D

    Take care.


    Yours

    Second chance- yes today is 5p listing day.

    Personally, if you dont need it then sell it. Have a look on ebay, you can get an idea what others are selling similar things for then price accordingly. I do well using "buy it now". I personally think, what will "sell" so I sold a new pair of shoes for 5.50 inc postage. I think that its more important to get rid than whether I make top dollar on it IYSWIM

    You can use wireless on any broadband connection, as long as you have the right equipment.

    This is true, you can change to a different service provider,get a lower rate and still be wireless. I got a deal @ argos for a wireless router and access point for PC for £50 tip by another DFW. This will save loads in the long run, as cut my BB bill to £12 a month, you could prob pick up gear on ebay for a good price too...

    Keep up the good work, you've made the hardest step already ((hugs))

    Just read this...have you and your Dh talked this through? I think you jointly need to be open & honest about sorting this because if you dont you will be in the vicious debt spiral which will be impossible to get out of...at the end of the day people here will support you but I think your first and most difficult discussion needs to be can you actually afford a new house? yes more space etc but an awful lot of money...bearing in mind that you have got into quite large debts with a lesser mortgage the bottom line is can you realistically pay off debts like this with an even bigger mortgage? Its a bit of a nightmare question, esp so close to finalisation but please ask yourselves is it worth the stress? If you sold stuff you'd have loads more room in your current house anyway (just trying to be positive!!). Sending you a humongous hug as I think you're in that "Oh s****" stage which is horrible but trust me when you get past that stage to teh yipee paid the first thing off & am in control stage its amazing!!! Just imagine being like Lynz & (nearly!) debt free!!!
