    Just saying Hi,
    We start our DMP next week just finishing the paperwork now.
    Through Stepchange also and have had some good bits on my thread too.
    Here we go 2,3,4.
    I agree that its got to be a positive start to getting back to enjoying life instead of trying to exist meeting full payments when you can quite...
    Good Luck.
    See you on the DMP mutual support thread maybe?
    :-)

    Hi

    I would echo some of the posters on this topic about the importance of having an emergency fund. I have been in a dmp for 4 years and have just under one year left. i have never had a chance to build up an emergency fund and when things have gone wrong, like the washing machine breaking down or an unexpected vets bill, I have literally been left with about £2 to last me a week until my pay day. As a result i phoned in work sick as I could not afford to put petrol in the car...but i have found charity shops and ebay a life saver too
