Please help me.............

to leave this forum alone!

I shoud be (i) putting laundry away, (ii) making list of all food we have (iii) making a menu plan and (iv) making shopping list...........but I'm reading the forum!

Have to say though that, yes I am in debt, but I am no longer scared, having sleepless nights, stressed and worried. I feel in control and love organising it all and seeing when it will be DFD. And all of that is due to the fantastic advise and support I have had on here. I now know I CAN do this.

I still have a few hundred pound left on my overdraft but instead of spending it just because "it's there", I am spending as little as possible so I can repay debt.

So thank you to everyone who has posted and given me advice and just not made me feel c**p about myself.:beer:

So thank you, I will complete my jobs and return....or I might peek beforehand :D
