Room for a little un??

I've posted on here a couple of times, and have become an avid reader of the forum, so I wanted to introduce myself to everyone:hello:

The thing that's really struck me about this place is the friendliness and support that you all give each other, and I'm hoping that I might be included in this?!?

I will post my SOA and a bit more info about myself and my situation (bet you can't wait! ;) ) a bit later, but for now I just wanted to say HELLO! I look forward to getting to know you all xx
I really thought I just hit rock bottom. But today, it's like there's rock bottom, 50 feet of crap, then me. (Friends)

    I know Wolverhampton well (or at least the Civic Hall - see my user name!)
    I had my LBM very recently, although it was a long time coming, when I was desperately trying to get more credit to keep myself 'afloat'. The only option available to me was a loan through Welcome Finance, and when I opened the letter and saw that the APR was going to be 47.8% it was a case of :eek: :eek: :eek: and then :idea: the lightbulb finally came on! I realised that all I was doing was digging a deeper hole for myself, and that things had to change.
