  • Hi all,

    Please may I join too?

    I have been reading these boards almost obsessively since i discovered them last weekend. I have outstanding debt just over 100k (i dont know how either! It started during my marriage and seemed to spiral from there). I think I am left with no alternative than to undertake a DMP as I cant manage my monthly payments. However, I am determined to clear my debts eventually and have already really started to cut costs. I now note down every penny (to the penny) that leaves my purse! I am also having to do this without the knowledge of my current partner as i am sure he would leave me if he knew and i cant take that risk...

    Anyway, I really hope I will be allowed to join and I look forward to the invaluable support I already see this forum offers.

    Hello, I am new to this, but I think I want to have a debt free wannabe number! I am going off to cook tea and work out how much we owe. Scary thought. Might take some time (and a bottle of wine). It seems I will be joining the grocery challenge as well as many others. I have successfully reclaimed bank charges of £4971 using this site (and spent it on covering direct debits with little effect), which gives some idea of how much our outgoings outstrip our income.

    Oh well, here goes..........
