Hi, for those following my previous diary “ Back, still in debt, probably depressed and not a lot going right ”, I’m not sure what happened to it. It just disappeared overnight. I’ve reported it but read a lot of threads are disappearing.
So if you’re new to my diary.... hello!! If you read my previous diary welcome back and thank you for trying to find me.
So today, I was telling my boss about my health. I thought he was going to cry and he asked me to send him an email confirming what I told him.

Ok, potted history of my previous diary:
- OH and I having problems
- debt around 38k, 1 cc almost paid off (worst apr(
- lots of problems at work which I got union involved with
- now a lump on my neck, waiting on a referral
- making as many little payments to cc as I can. The one in the signiwas nearly 4K this time last year
- selling (or will be) house to move into smaller house so can be mortgage free/closer to family/ better schools/ closer to work etc
- want to be debt free ASAP but reality is I may be mortgage free before being debt free!!!
Hopefully that all makes sense. The lump on my throat is scaring (sp?) me. Just want it sorted.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Got a reply back about my previous diary, apparently spammers and must have been removed.
My throat is a bit scratchy today, trying not to think about it. My Mum has given me some money to pay off my little cc. Once that’s paid off should I keep the cc in case of emergencies but reduce the credit limit? At the moment it’s 10k. I then need to decide which other cc to start paying off, all the rest have the same standard rate although did a 0% balance transfer to one of them a while ago.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
