    Please dont be so hard on yourself you have come along way and surely now that you are working you are allowed the odd treat. Also don't forget how small your debt is now compared to last year.

    Is there anyway you could get some of the money back you lend your friend?
    Doesn't look like it... they're having even more problems now as it's coming to xmas.. :(

    You don't need the £100 from your Dad.
    You just need to wait another week or two to pay off egg.

    Do you want a debt at 0% (egg)
    or a debt at 100000000% of guilt to your father.

    Morning Sar just catching up. You will get there with Egg just not as soon as you'd thought. You are so determined I sooo admire you. As Floss and others said just look at how much you've achieved in twelve months. XX
