    Well done for making a start Babycham. I really think that's the hardest part of anything we would rather put off.
    Just keep chipping away at it and remember there are lots of people hear with plenty of experience and know-how to help you.

  • Thank you all. Took the bull by the horns(almost), opened letters, worked out my outcome and income. Majority of bills are now direct debit, cut phone bill from BT to Talk Talk with Broadband. Spoke to creditors and worked out an arrangement with most of them. Couldnt talk to them all at once! Took on another job, as I was only working 30 hours a week. Now working at least 12 more hours, but after reading what you all have to say I now save £5 a month in a savings acount. Not a lot but a start hey! Now have a little more confidence with replying, thanks.
  • Well done!! From not confronting your fears to all you've done (reading your last message) I think you've done LOADS.

    Be proud!

    Hi babycham,
    I was away and am only just catching up - how's it going? You sounded pretty positive in the last few posts.
    Have you started a thread for your SOA or is it coming on here?

    Hey there. I'm fairly new on here and have only just read your thread.

    You are doing so well! Just take one step at a time and there are a lot of wonderful people on here that will help you through it, with either financial advice or just hugs when you need them.

    Keep up the good work! Hugs from me!!
