Thanks to all who have listened to my waffle

biglad

Ok so im not that regular at posting but just want to say thanks to anyone who has helped me on this site and spose Martin aswell lol.

In may of this year i thought there was no way out, i was in a job i hated and getting bullied, had a draw full of DCA letters i wouldnt read and was so miserable at times i thought i would lose my beautiful girlfriend who has also been a massive help.

What a difference 6 months makes

With the help of all on here i am now in a DMP with payplan and feel great. I read this forum a lot and sometimes people have moaned at certain advice but imo every bit of advice has been invaluable to me. It does also help to have very understanding loved ones who help aswell lol. I feel great seeing me actually paying into my debts and not just ignoring them.

Yes i know its pay day etc and ill be skint mid december but just so different to 6 months ago and to all new posters, i even contimplated suicide in my early debt days and had days that were awfully low. but i spose the moral of this waffle is THINGS DO GET BETTER JUST STICK IN THERE.

just to note aswell to anyone who remembers my job thread, i am getting rave reviews from the managers at my current job and have had my hours increased to give me more money and they said they have done it instead of giving me a pay rise cos head office is being a bit funny with regard to finances lol. they said my pay rise will come in around february and im REALLY happy there. Also im moving into my first house (allbeit rented) 1st january and we can save towards the time we get our own place

Once again thanks a lot

ps. sorry i dont contribute as much as others but have family commitments and work etc but do post when i can

thanks lynz, just really feeling good. I think aswell its my first xmas buying presents with MY MONEY and feels so much better than on cards that aint mine

rog2, she is fine and ive actually been there all day helping her with her bills, i can sort hers out cos she has the money to pay, im actually really organised just not when i had no money.

also im so glad im 23 and have really changed my outlook on life and that its much better to earn my money than use the evil credit cards etc lol

hard to think money made me suicidal, but not now

biglad

Well done biglad:T
I remember reading some of your posts about work and your money problems and remember how low you were at the time.Its great to read that you have taken control of your finances and turned your life around.
Hope you and your girlfriend enjoy your first home together, don't keep knocking it for "only" being rented, you have come a long way and it won't be long before you can start thinking about buying a place of your own.You are still only young and you have learnt a good lesson already about debt.

good luck for the future.
