    Morning chick. just want to say hi, and I'm so glad you're doing better. There's always a way round things, you just have to look for it. Well done you, you rock. Next you'll be beavering away at multicoloured spreadsheets, hording your £2 coins and squashing the loo roll like the rest of us. Then we'll have you....mwhahahaha

    Ahem
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Hi Gem,

    Belated Welcome to the very friendly and more importantly understanding world of the DFW.

    The journey to be debt free is not without its trials, it isn't a quick journey and there are occasion falls off the back of the wagon. We've all been there - and are still on the journey. The support here is fantastic. Here are people who genuinely understand what it is like to walk in your shoes, who understand how lonely life feels and how scary just hearing the post arrive or the phone ringing is. We can be more frank here than with our own family.

    Keep in contact - we like to know you are okay. Your story will in turn encourage others who are feeling just as scared and low as you. Good luck - and remember we are always here, day or night.
