and I hope it is ok, but I will be starting a weekly diary as from next week. I haven't been posting as often probably for a number of reasons with the main one being that my debt has actually gone up than down :eek:

I started on a DMP in October and my bank decided to hammer me in bank charges since I defaulted on a loan. Anyway long story short but my debt increased by almost £3000!!!! Hopefully one day I'll get the whole lot back off the bast**ds. So......

I've decided that this is the year I'm gonna GET REAL!!! And not only with my finances (albeit) this is my biggest challenge, but also I have a few personal issues which need to be addressed.

I'm looking forward to sharing my progress with you all and I wish you all a wonderful and prosperous New Year :heart2: :heart2: :heart2:

  • Thanks everyone for your support. I'm looking forward to starting a weekly thread, I definitely think i'll find it beneficial in alot of ways.

    I'm just heading out the door to pick up my e-bay purchase - a book entitled "THINK YOURSELF RICH" Just one of the many I plan on reading this year, I feel quite excited...

    Cheers!
