in Debt-free wannabe
Hi all

I had recently been struggling with debt, no lender would lend to me, started to get threatening collection letters because i just couldnt afford to pay everything (my partner recently lost his job too). I finally decided to go into a debt management plan after really debating if i should go into one due to fear etc. However, i finally went into one yesterday and I can honestly say I have never felt so relieved! the count down is on, 21 months to debt free life ...... x

    Well done Kerriw! I was wondering if you were going to update what you were doing (on your earlier threads). Pleased to see you are making progress. You may consider it beneficial to keep a spending diary to support your monthly budget.

    I love my job
