hello

Hi all
Been here a few weeks but first time I've been brave enough to do a full post.:o
Mine and the o/h debts have built up over the years. We both had good jobs when the kids were young but then life just seeme to go down hill. I can no longer work due to disability and o/h was made redundant from his job just before he would of been due redundancy. Glad to say he is working but taken a £7,000 per year drop in wages
We are trying really hard to become debt free and with the help of you great bunch:D , I can see us getting there.
Thanks to all comp posters:A
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive
