Thank you very much Len,
In my husbands family, You ARE a bad person for being in debt...That's why SIL divorced her husband!
The family has no problem rubbishing him all the time!

I suppose anyone's family initial reaction would be very negative although this attitude does a little extreme unless the debt was extremely excessive and he was completly irresponsible which you clearly are not. The thing is this website and your article in the mag will have undoubtedly thrown a lifeline to many hundreds of people who are struggling with what you, I and millions of others have and that's the positive thing. I had to tell my employers but I could never ever tell my dad, family or friends only out of fear of what they would think. Not that they would cut me off I genuinely think they would not cut and run but there you go, that's the attitude that probably got me in this mess in the 1st place! Are you worrying that she's taken the mag away? Lenny

Len,
Thanks-that's what I hope-at least one person lying there in bed , not sleeping, wishing they were dead will see that there IS help and that there is a way forward!

Our lives will be getting easier soon once we move as well-I just figured out or Council Tax will be £557 a year cheape, and DH has a loan finishing in May for over £200. An extra £250 a month! That'll go towards paying off DH O/D and maybe the odd treat...

Blooming heck!
That's no way to live is it?
DH's wages covered all the bills (mortgage etc) and I pay for everything else (food, kids, entertainment) and there was never ANY leeway, now there will be a bit of breathing room so HOPEFULLY less stress, plus we'll have money to invest. THEN, hopefully I can increase my DMP paymetns even more!

hiya Bunny

I was just in Mr T's buying some chocolate to see me through my essay when I saw the magazine. I just had to buy it *bang goes budget*!!!

First of all - you look stunning in the photographs. Definately try and get a copy or 7 from the magazine.

second - I really admire you for your courage to speak out. I know I couldn't do it. I am so pleased that things are looking up for you - espeically the council tax money I'm sure that will go a long way to keeping you positive.

third - I now have a fun magazine to procrastinate with....erm, i mean read

Good luck xxx

You will be really on track then & as u say can have an odd treat which makes life bearable too.
Go girl go.

oh it's fab! And you're gorgeous

Got this mag today and got my mum to read it out in the car. My mum is now saying she might contact the CCCS (she's not got problem debts exactly but has debts and never clears them) and says she needs to get more organised and get a plan (I was telling her about the olympic challenge!). We got so engrossed talking about you, the article and MSE that I went the wrong way 3 times!!

Fabuous. You are a fabulous person!

Bunny, just read your article. What a great story - and you look absolutely wonderful in the pictures!

A very brave thing to do - good for you and enjoy your £100, you deserve to spend it on a treat!
