Have made a start!!

Hi All,

Bit of a pointless post but i'm feeling so chuffed with myself I had to tell someone!
Have finally had ANOTHER LBM and decided once and for all to sort out my debts :D
Have added up my total, see sig :eek:, and tomorro am going to start phoning and writing letters offering amounts :D
Such a little step but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted now i'm actually doing something about it rather than dreading letters coming thru the door! We'll see how I feel once they start rejecting my offers lol.
Thanks for listening all and wish me luck :D

    I had to laugh at you "another LBM"... I completley understnad, I had a few before thinking "right, now's the time!" And it's worked so much better!

    Hope you get the responses you want from your letters! Go for it!
