    You're very welcome moneysaver, make sure you keep us posted, and post up your statement of affairs so we can all help you shave off those pennies you don't need to be spending :)
    If you refer to this daily, like a diary, you can explain how you feel about things, and what you've done, and you can get feedback from us guys, and we'll try to motivate you best we can, plus it helps to have a little moral support sometimes :)

    I will be checking in daily. Just being able to talk about it is a relief.

    Thankyou

    Is there a particular thing you spend on thats a main weakness for you?

    If there is perhaps you could come with some sort or motivation challenge
    E.g. if you often overspend on clothes or shoes or similar maybe set yourself a challenge whereby for every £50 extra you pay off your debts or every 2lb you lose in weight you put £10 towards a new fund which can then be used for new clothes
    (or whatever would work for you)

    Rubbish food, sweets chocoalte, pies etc the usual junk food. Coffee's and lunch out, clothes I just do not need and tshirts looooads of them. When i see ones i like I get every colour in the same tshirt. At the last count I had 14 pairs of jeans. Also stuff for the house that never gets used !!!

    Yes you've done the right thing. Unfortunately this forum is open to everyone so you will get weirdos on here too.

    If I were you I'd name and shame the person that is quite clearly trying to take advantage of a vulnerable situation (or at least try and upset you).
    I enjoy a pint of beer each night for it's health benefits. The other pints are for my witty comebacks and flawless dance moves.

    OK this screams of ebay to me - why not sort your things when you get a chance and begin to ebay the bits you don't really need/want/use.

    Will help lots towards your debts and help focus your mind when you're doing it xx.

    (Sorry about the horrible PM from the man - mostly everyone here is lovely)

    Just tackle it in small bits at a time eatandspend. Bit by bit you can get there.

    Ebay is not that hard - there are some good guides on here if you are interested. Or what about a car boot sale instead?
