Still here too. If I've any spare time on the computer, I'm usually putting things on ebay Mind you, it's been really slow this past month. I've hardly sold any of my film magazines. My ebay fees this past month has been higher than my sales, so I'm going to have to take a good look at what I can do to change that.

I'm making a heart and nine-patch quilt for my daughter and I need to sew the mystery quilt top I made some time this year too. That was really fun to make and I didn't know what it was going to look like until the end!

Ok, here goes.

I'm Karb, male, 39, married with 5 children and stepchildren, and live in the Midlands.

I joined this site a few years ago, but drifted away again. When you are so far in debt, saving 5p or so on a tin of beans starts to lose its appeal.

But my debts are getting out of hand now, and I really need to do something about it. Hence I'm back.

Welcome to all the new people who have started here recently.
I've still got 3 1/2 more years to pay back my debts (44 months!) :eek: and there are times when this seems so far away. I check my snowball and spending diary every week and I think I have looked at all ways of paying it back! I spend the weekends on ebay clearing my house - but I'm paying more in fees at the moment! I did have a weekend job for many years in a local shop, but that closed last year.
In some ways it's good I am so obsessed with clearing that debt - just wish I'd been so vigilant for the past 25 years then I wouldn't be in this mess
