Hi All
I was looking for something else this morning and I came across this forum. This is what I need in my life. I need to keep on top of this every day and if I post, this will keep me motivated.
Very briefly,my husband run up 110k debt. over the next 4 years I paid off 72K but had to go without so much. Left husband as spending habits did not change. having gone without for so long went on spending sprees and now this has caused me to go into debt currently 11k on cc and always O/D. Really need to pay this off.
Have logged onto research sites but dont seem to get picked.

all help and support greatfully received.
