Sorry to hear you're a bit low Rog - is it anything we can help with?
Thanks, Snag - it probably is just a 'man' thing - been working like mad this week - just tired and feel like I'm getting no-where. I just don't seem to be able to get into the 'Christmas Mood' - no real reason.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Right so if either of us get tempted to spend, we'll tell the other and that'll stop us. Think how good it'll be to have that big stash at the end of the yearNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130

I need to start cutting down, i tryed to think of all the stuff i brought this year with all my wage plus my savings and do you know what i can account for £900 and thats it :eek: How bad is that? This has to stop it really does. I have stopped visting hot deals uk and my crafting forum as they make me spend cash that i dont really have. I so need to stop spending money :rotfl:
