    Hello, sorry not been on for a while, I had a few things that took me into my overdraft and then just lost control again. I know this diary is meant to be a positive one but I'm really struggling I think that's partly why I didn't want to post.
    I don't have a lot to say really, I'm still paying out a huge chunk of my wages to debt and I'm still really struggling to get along.

    :hello: Hi Pops and welcome back

    Don't beat yourself up about it, been there, done that.

    You will have setbacks along the way. If I had a pound for every new snowball calculator I have done :eek:

    I can also relate to paying a huge amount of wages towards debt and bills.( actually nearly all of it) I keep telling myself that one day it will be gone, I just need to wait for that day.

    I have set myself small targets of £500 and every time I reach £500 paid off of debt I will tick it off and start on the next £500 and so on.
    You could try it in smaller amounts even every £50.

    I so hope you find the way that works for you.

    As for you feeling your diary is negative, Dont worry it's a way of airing how you are feeling and it might help to get it off your chest.

    Sorry for worrying people I've been in a bit of a dark place in all honesty. It just all feels very overwhelming and like there is no way out
