    [QUOTE=CAFCGirl;5258005

    Did the "scary and emotional" thing of telling my mum the total debt figure. I dont think she was impressed. Although she knew I was in debt and what I've been doing to get out of it but I guess as a parent you never want to accept that your kids have made an error of judgement and got themselves i a pickle!

    But that was just an idea and I can totally cope if she says no, and in a way it is a cop out but I'm determined to treat that loan as any other loan, so no "payment breaks" because I want new shoes etc lol....

    We'll wait and see on that one[/QUOTE]

    Its not that parents are judgemental, much, and if I'd known the scale of your debt I would have panicked too. But very proud that you are tackling them so aggressively. Remember you can always come home to chavsville:eek:
    Are those shopping bags you're carrying really bags of debt???

    Don't worry I didn't find this post until yesterday. You have your answer now anyway- we'll leave them in suspense regarding that for a while.
