    Right here I go.... Please can I join

    I am a newbie and have been looking round the forum for the past week. I am not sure how I am going to do this as I have never saved money in my life let alone manage to pay off extra. I owe about £11,700 and I would like to aim to pay off £3,000 I am looking for support, ideas & guidance; in return I will offer support and I will be on the lookout for new ideas to share with you all.
