    Hi Musicabc,

    Thank you so much for your response to my post.

    I will be looking into that one today.

    Good luck with this using MSE as there are some pretty amazing people out there ready and willing to help.

    Hey DFW's,

    I have listed more stuff on Ebay today, so should have more money to allocate to debts this month.

    The prize I won and put up on Ebay is currently at £36 with two days left to run. Whoop whoop. That will be added to my debts defo.

    Me thinks I will be listening to the radio more often lol.

    Good afternoon DFW,

    Well what can I say except this journey is getting very very interesting.:)

    I am looking at money in a totally different way now. :eek:

    I think before I spend. Trust me this is another LBM for me.

    I have my first wage since my LBM coming in and am looking forward to seeing how much money I can allocate to my debt based on all the savings I have already made this month.

    Will let you know how I get on.

    Cheers :beer: and thanks for all of your help and support.

  • Me again. Well I have joined a number of other threads and want to thank everyone who made a comment on this thread and gave me advice.

    I will be closing this one now.

    For a final update I was thinking of going down the line of an IVA because I had no room in my budget to move. I have now managed to secure a 2nd job and this will allow me to start making a real dent in my debt.

    1st I will pay off my highest interest credit card.
    2nd when this is paid off I will negotiate with that company for a 0% rate and move the next highest onto that. I will continue with each credit card until all are at the 0% rate.
    3rd once all are at the 0% rate I will then pay off each card with all extra money I earn.
    4th I will save whatever money I can to pay off my loan early and hopefully save myself even more money.

    I think that make sense.

    Thank you all again and see you on some other pages.
