Budgeting and being skint actually feels good

For months I have been reliant on pay day loans. Paying back each month and then borrowing. it's incrediably stressful and then snowballed me into debt. I'm starting to deal with it and hopefully going on a debt management plan. Starting this month, I haven't borrowed, I am budgeting, skint and learning a lot. I'm looking around my possessions to see what things I can put on eBay.. Even a book for that sold for £2. It's an extra £2 that's in my pocket. I'm looking for vouchers and discovering this site has been a god send.
I've £100 for the next two weeks and need to include food and petrol in that but that money is mine. Not a pay day loan companies and learning to start again feels pretty good.
