Just a small update, after selling more of my stuff on ebay, and my wife getting a slightly higher wage than she expected, we both decided to pay of the opus credit card.

I've gone from being on a high last night, to a very low today, went for an interview this morning, and walked away feeling like crap. Dont know whats wrong in my head at the moment, I guess this is what happens when you realise your running out of time with regards to my job, I just cannot get motivated, and i'm struggling to find the energy to do things.LBM NOV 2010 DEBT YEARLY PROGRESS | 2009 £77k | 2010 £72k | 2011 £51k | 2012 £40k | DEBT FREE [STRIKE]AUGUST[/STRIKE] July 2013? - CURRENT DEBT TOTAL £0.00Debts - | Lloyds CC [STRIKE]£13,881 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Lloyds Loan [STRIKE]£14,663£0.00[/STRIKE]| Opus CC[STRIKE] £570 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Mint [STRIKE]£513 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Coop [STRIKE]£1848 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Barclaycard CC[STRIKE] £6,399 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Barclaycard/Egg CC £5470 £0.00 | Overdraft [STRIKE]£1000 £0.00.[/STRIKE]0

Didn't want to read and run when I saw your last post. Sorry to hear you're having a bad day.

Chin up - you sound like a very resourceful chap, so something will come along even if it's not quite what you expected.0 -
Thanks TeaForOne very much appreciated you posting, i'll just have to dig that little bit deeper to find the courage and energy.LBM NOV 2010 DEBT YEARLY PROGRESS | 2009 £77k | 2010 £72k | 2011 £51k | 2012 £40k | DEBT FREE [STRIKE]AUGUST[/STRIKE] July 2013? - CURRENT DEBT TOTAL £0.00Debts - | Lloyds CC [STRIKE]£13,881 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Lloyds Loan [STRIKE]£14,663£0.00[/STRIKE]| Opus CC[STRIKE] £570 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Mint [STRIKE]£513 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Coop [STRIKE]£1848 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Barclaycard CC[STRIKE] £6,399 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Barclaycard/Egg CC £5470 £0.00 | Overdraft [STRIKE]£1000 £0.00.[/STRIKE]0

I always think of it as fate, espcially if its a bad day, as thou to say you can get through this and make u stronger.
Sorry about the job interview, hopefully something will come up soon, xxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
Thanks again mum2one for your replies
Had another interview today, and this one went much better, even said they would contact me next week for a 2nd interview.
I wont get my hopes up to much, however I will stay positive and keep trying, and for all the peeps who are finding things difficult at the moment, it will get better, but you have to try and make it better.

Just a small update, and to help others keep motivated, and also me.
I have been offered a Job, less pay than what I am on now, but if things work out my redundancy pay will pay off most of my debt, so I wont need a wage to service the debts, however I have a second interview to attend which could be a real winner... fingers crossed.
Also a few milestones for me. I have also today paid off my Capital 1 credit card, balance was only £23.77 but its cleared now. Also my Mint credit card should be cleared this month, and hopefully my Coop credit card balance should be down even more.
Keep strong and keep focused, every day im looking at ways to clear this debt.LBM NOV 2010 DEBT YEARLY PROGRESS | 2009 £77k | 2010 £72k | 2011 £51k | 2012 £40k | DEBT FREE [STRIKE]AUGUST[/STRIKE] July 2013? - CURRENT DEBT TOTAL £0.00Debts - | Lloyds CC [STRIKE]£13,881 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Lloyds Loan [STRIKE]£14,663£0.00[/STRIKE]| Opus CC[STRIKE] £570 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Mint [STRIKE]£513 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Coop [STRIKE]£1848 £0.00 [/STRIKE]| Barclaycard CC[STRIKE] £6,399 £0.00[/STRIKE]| Barclaycard/Egg CC £5470 £0.00 | Overdraft [STRIKE]£1000 £0.00.[/STRIKE]0 -
