Little noob saying hello

Hi all!

Had my LBM in August last year after breaking up with my partner of 11 years. Thankfully things really aren't as bad as I feared once I stopped being an ostrich and checked my credit files.

I was daft enough to take out a payday loan but I've finally got my finances under control, I like being on here and reading everyone's experiences and tips as it gives me strength when I feel a bit low.

DFD - looking like November 2014 *fingers crossed*

Thanks for all the posts everyone has made so far - you're great!
