    Hello Sam,

    I finally have some time to write a proper comment on here for you.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That's devastating, but I really admire the fact you're considering becoming their carer. You're obviously a wonderful friend.

    Whatever you decide to do will be the right choice as you're really in such a tough place right now. All I can say is whatever you decide to do, just focus on that and put aside the alternative, otherwise you'll run rings around yourself.

    Please know that we love you here and if you need to let off steam in any way then please come here and do that. Feel free to PM me anytime if you feel the wish to, and I'll make sure I find the time to reply as quickly as possible. You need to really take some care of you here too.

    We're here for you.

    MTxx

  • Thanks all - very annoyed as its all gone "new" and been unable to log in...
    Finally I'm in ..lol


    I have done nothing much yet about my debts only small reductions to BC Very and C1


    I need a proper reshuffle of what I am going to pay off...


    Very 1300
    C1 200
    BC 900
    AL 3000
    Other 110


    I would like to get paid off ASAP so here's my bit of a plan


    very 1300
    other 110
    C1 200
    AL - 1000
    That's £2610 ...to be off'd


    but


    leaves only 2 debts


    BC 900 - 20PCM - and I hate them so they can wait for there money am in no rush to pay off due to their bad attitude - I know this is cut off nose to spite face scenario...


    AL 2000 - 180PCM


    With extra work and selling everything (again) focus with Over payments will go to AL's 2K

    Sorry for confusion not at half way yet that's just my plan to get things paid off asap but made a good start


    2 debts gone FOR GOOD !!!!


    C1 200 - Cleared and gone
    Very 1418 is now 900
    BC 900 - 900
    AL 3000 now 2000
    Other 110 - cleared and gone


    So left with 900 BC , 900 Very and £2000 AL so £3800 !!! I would be 4 K MORE in debt if I had not started to pay off debts in FEB..and it would stand at circa 8.5k !!!


    Thanks for the boost ...hopeful one day I will get there ...
