...cloud to spoil the view and I'm happy, happy in my heart.
OK I may have the biggest debt in the world and the prospect of buying only from the sell by today counter and driving the same battered car for the next twelve years but on the plus side,
However I have made huge progress in the 12 months since I discovered this website and feel so much better for the changes and sacrifices I have made.
If I could just now shed 30lb my happiness would be complete.
It is possible to deal with debt if you listen to the wise words from the good people on this site and change your life accordingly.

OK I may have the biggest debt in the world and the prospect of buying only from the sell by today counter and driving the same battered car for the next twelve years but on the plus side,
- No creditor has hassled me for several weeks
- I am back with my family and enjoying their company after three weeks away
- I have just managed to get a 50% reduction on my car insurance saving £200 per year.
- I finished the last Harry Potter which I loved and which made me cry
- I am shortly going on holiday paid before my true DFW days. It will be my last for some time so I am determined to really enjoy it.
- My DMP is holding up. I even managed to get Capital One to accept a reduction in my monthly payment from £45 to £43 and they are continuing to freeze interest.
However I have made huge progress in the 12 months since I discovered this website and feel so much better for the changes and sacrifices I have made.
If I could just now shed 30lb my happiness would be complete.
