  • Hello, latecomer newbie here - hope it isn't too late to join in!

    I WILL definitely be paying off all of my debts this year - I have an inheritance coming in a few months that will more than cover what I owe - but I want to pay off as much as possible by earning more/spending less/selling stuff on ebay so I can spend a good part of my inheritance on buying something nice for myself, as the donor intended.

    So, please put me down for £12,900
    I have ME - please excuse occasional brainfog :o
