Hello everybody!
Well here I am with my shiny new diary....
A little bit about me:
I was on here in around 2012 at which time I was definitely in debt crisis- by the time I'd paid all my bills, I literally had no money at the end of the month. Anyway, I got my head down, worked hard, lived very frugally and managed to pay it all off. I am fortunate enough to work in a job where extra shifts are endlessly available, just need to be willing to put in the hard graft.
Fast forward 8 years and here I am AGAIN. Not exactly in debt crisis by Martin's definition- but definitely owing way too much to feel comfortable with. Total debt of £36,647. So I am definitely looking forward to being part of this lovely community- I suspect that I should never have left in fact! Wishing you all a lovely evening xx
