A couple of holidays (4 years ago now.....havent had one since!!) about £2500 altogether.
Several collectable sets of barbies, computer game figures (they were cheap at the time, and I thought a wise long term investment......DAMN YOU EBAY!! BUT having said that they are worth a lot more than I paid, so I did very well........if I sell them!! Can I just point out I actually do not collect barbies, just went ebay crazy!!) About £500 for LOTS of items.
And finally, general living expenses, literally just living, but probably could have spent a bit less on luxury goods such as dvds, cds, toys for kids, I dont have a lot of clothes, so its not gone on that!!
So apart from the loft full of collectables, and bookcases full of games, dvds, cds, and books............................not a lot!!!I believe that I have the strength to make my dreams come true:T September Challenge £5 per day - £0/£150 :T0 -

Mmmm just a lesson learnt thats all.
My ex walked away with all my savings £thousands£ and what I added to my mortgage to lend him. I was stupid enough to trust him and let him do this. No proof of lending so had to write it all off. Slowly building some security now.xxxdxxx

Not all of them, though:beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
