in Debt-free wannabe
just a quick update for anyone who remembers me
I was thinking about concolidating but have now had a miracle happen.
My OH has just got a job as a dustbin lorry driver earning £300 per week!:beer:
we have phoned everyone we owe money to and arranged new payments to start next month when he gets paid.
I also went on to the snowballing website and found out that if i use his wages to pay the debts and live of my wages we will be debt free by October 2007!!!!:T
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice and persuaded me not to consolidate....you saved me a fortune.:j
I have never been happier and feel like a weight has been lifted off me.
I took everyones advice and sorted out my phone, gas and electric and have started to walk to work and even make my own lunches.
I will be starting the grocery challenge next month and hopefully I will be able to pay everything off and start saving.
The credit cards are cut up and the catalogues thrown away.
Now I can answer my phone and not hold my breath when the post arrives.
Thanks again to you all
And finally to anyone else in trouble.....listen to the people on here when they try to help and keep your chin up
I MAY HAVE NOTHING.....BUT ITS MY NOTHING
