I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

ok didnt quite make it a NSD today.
Went food shopping today and came to £86 when I had orginally budgeted £35.00. Saying that OH owes me £20.00 for beers and did spend £6.00 on a xmas present. There is also enough food to cover 10days as well, not just 7.
On some good news I have talked to a friend about doing some babysitting to earn some more cash to pay off debts, and got a call tonight from friends friend. She has asked me to a couple of hours next sat and the week after. at £5 an hour dont think this is bad.
Hoping tomorrow will be NSD, as staying in tidying, ironing and sorting things to sell on ebay.
