    Hi Squirrel29 :)

    You don't really need a fair-weather friend like that do you?

    If you have friends that are willing to spend time with you, (time being a precious commodity, more so than money imo), concentrate on those.

    You won't have lost a good friend, just gained more time to spend with real friends who understand you and your new circumstances. :)

    Good luck x

    My best mate is a star, and having been in debt herself she's aware of my predicament. We go to each other's houses for coffee instead of Starbucks, and I'm knitting her a christmas present instead of blowing a load of cash on something that will get put in a cupboard. She's aware that it's time I'm giving up, and despite working from home (and therefore apparently having all te time in the world according to some) she recognises what a big deal it is to take an afternoon off to spend with her.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
