Thank you - from a DFW

Hi everyone

I've posted a couple of time of here - but most days jump on and read the current stuff. I just wanted to say how good the support and advice is, no judgements are made, and there are lots of hugs flying around!

My debts are not huge (around £5,000) but reading some of the threads and replies has kind of kicked my butt - for which I thank you!!

By looking at my budget and doing the sensible things (giving up smoking -
2nd day as a non smoker!) I can pay £100 per month off my debts. Looking at the debt snowballer thingy my DFD is October 2011.

I guess I just wanted to say "Thank you" to everyone out there - you really are a great help and although I don't know any of you I feel supported.

Many hugs!!:j
Debt at 2nd LBM (!) Jun 08 £8,435 - hm, let's not go there!!

    I couldn't agree more. It's lovely to know I'm not alone:money: :j :D
  • Aw Mum, wd on giving up smoking.
    Your debt may not be huge but its a problem to you and thats why you seek help from these boards.
    4 years will fly by and you will be a fitter, stronger person.
    I agree these boards are what keep me going sometimes, the help here is amazing!
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(
