31 year old mum years to be debt free !

I've spent the last few days reading other people's diaries so have decided to create my own.
A little about me, I'm a 31 years old, engaged and have a 4 year old.
There isn't a time when I can recall not been in debt in some way or form. I think it probably started when I got my first credit card at 18.
I shall be updating a list of all debts tonight as I'm at work at the minute but it's under 10K.
Our debt is made up of money lent by family, payday loans, overdrafts and a credit card.
I can't continue living the way I am, robbing Peter to pay Paul, dreading the post or a knock at the door.
Lunch up now so I shall give more of a back ground tonight.
