Biting the bullet..........

NeonRose

Hi guys,

Happy New year to you all.

Ive been reading various threads for months now and some stories/ideas etc I have found truly inspiring. So....... im biting the bullet.... ive become a member and am about to tell my story (a short version of it) for the first time ever. (I hope im writing it in the right place/forum).

Ive never had an issue with money, always worked hard and bought things i needed without credit. Then four years ago i was made redundant. To keep a roof over mine and my two childrens heads i used credit cards to pay for every day living. I struggled to find another job as both children were pre school age and my previous job worked around the hours i could do.

Anyway..... the bottom line is, i got myself into a pickle. I took a loan to pay off the credit cards but then used one of the cards again arghhhhh. I hit rock bottom and im very ashamed to say had suicidal thoughts a lot. If it werent for my kids I wouldnt like to say whether id have acted on them thoughts or not.

So, I gave myself a slap and decided to take action. I now have a DMP, I have taken on two part time cleaning jobs and do some part time work from home typing and packing. Anything basically that fits around my kids.

Im looking for more ways to raise money, searching for advice, and mainly just a bit of moral support to help me through the dark days.

Thanks guys xx
