  • Thank you everyone - without you guys I don't think I would have ever faced up to the problem - but I have now and I'm determined to sort my debts out - not just for me but for the kiddies as well!!!

    I'm on the way to paying off another £600 this month hopefully so fingers crossed - I've also just plucked up the courage to ask mum and dad for an interest free loan which they said yes to straightaway (its because I'm such a lovely daughter - cough, cough!!!) so that will be £2,000 of high interest 17.5% debt changed to £2,000 of no interest 0% debt very soon hopefully - don't you just love your parents.

    Thanks again everyone - your support is really helping me stay focused - and I hope my story is bringing hope to others - if I can do it then anybody can!!!!
