My Debt free diary

Well a weird first week facing up to my debt. I have worked out my debts and I'm owing £313.15 on an EGG Card and £9111.84 on my TSB personal loan.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the initial help with my SOA which I will take in to account. I have taken a couple of positive steps and realise I need to take control of my debts before they spiral.
So far this week I have looked in to getting a part-time job. A couple of application forms have been sent off and I've also been looking in to working from home at a weekend. Will see what comes of that.
I have tried to set myself a budget but it's been abit difficult this week with it being my birthday week. I still need to cancel my bank platinum account that will save me £10-15 a month. Sky I am going to leave for a short while till after christmas I think. Oh well early signs are good. I thought I would update this thread from now on to let you know how I'm going and how my debt clearing is going.
