I'm back and in the worse place I have ever been. I have been using payday loans again, which started because I spent the savings we had for a holiday then I panicked and replenished with a payday loan... Which I've spent again...
I have been a complete idiot.
I think it might be time for a DMP. I can't believe how ridiculously stupid I have been...Life is too short not to love what you do.0 -

Thanks my lovelies
Yeah it's time to bite the bullet. £1 token payments to creditors this month and hopefully get DMP on a roll for August!
Meant to be going on holiday at the end of the month - luckily it's just camping!
I'm feeling much more positive about it all now I've taken a step back and realised it'll be ok! Calling CCCS tonight! xxxLife is too short not to love what you do.0 -
Don't be too down on yourself hun. After all, we've all done stupid things, or we wouldn't be here
.
At least you've realised before it gets too out of hand.

The cccs are lovelyand it will take a lot of the strain from you as you don't have to liase with creditors much now lol.
Also it will trash your credit rating which looking at the positives here, you won't be able to get a payday loan if ever you feel the need for one in future(my friend is on a dmp- still not had LBM really and is always trying to get more loans- to which she is thankfully turned down for!)

Yeah exactly, I want it to to trash my credit rating so I have no choice but to save! I think the BF has defaults too (just out of stubbornness more than affordability) so we can work on getting a house after 6 years has passed! lol! xxxLife is too short not to love what you do.0
