Somedays thats how I feel... I was born to be in debt!
I have struggled my entire life my parents struggled maybe its genetic.
Well if you asked me a year ago that was my thoughts and today I wake up knowing that NO its MY fault and its time to take action!!
So far my and my partner owe:
3K - HBOS
5,200- MBNA
8700, lloyds tsb
I feel lost and sometimes I look at those numbers and think OMG what am I going to do!!
We want the world and can't afford a penny!!
Today however me and my bestfriend Samantha are going to an auction we are playing our own lil Cash in the attic!
I have gone through all my stuff and moms stuff now that she has moved away and its time to declutter the clutter!
So here is hoping!! I hope to make 400.00 pounds today.

Hi Maybelline
Well done on realising your debt problems are NOT your fault!!
My ex left me a few years ago with a lot more debt than you have and now I'm debtfree so there is light at the end off the tunnel.
Congrats on your first sale - I bet it's alot more exciting than ebay!!0 -
