It's strange how your priorities change isn't it?
I've got into debt to study and change career. Whilst the money situation is not ideal I love my job, love my workplace, feel I am doing something very worthwhile and have the support of some good friends both in the north and at my new home.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

Thank you Natty, it depends what course I end up doing - one would be four years and the other three years, long time but I thought at 30 I was too old to retrain so I'm thinking now that at 55 I'll be glad I did:D
