    Hi blenk64 and well done on your light bulb moment.

    As hard as it seems, you do need to check your statements etc. and remember they'll never be as bad again as they are right now because you can fix it.

    Good luck

    You are not a failure - most people on here are or have been in the same situation ar worse. Have a look at the sticky thread for first time posters and do a Statement Of Affairs ( SOA ) so that we can give you some advice. You have come to the right place and it may be daunting to face up to it but as Gemmzie has said - you can fix this.

    all the best xoopsx
