Hi guys,,,,just tried to post a thread but it doesn’t seem 2 have gone thro
So here I go again…
Approx 2 years ago, with £25K in debt, I realised I couldn’t continue to bury my head in the sand and started to take control of it,,,I shifted debt around 4 better deals, 0% on BT’s…ect
Then one afternoon I was watching a show called Deal or no Deal, and I thought that I would apply to have a go, and try and win some money to clear some/all of my debt.
14 Feb (Valentines Day) I went 4 an audition in Manchester (had no money 2 buy my girlfriend a nice present) and with hundreds of other waited 4 ,my 3 minute interview, fast forward 8 weeks and I received a call from the producers of the show to congratulate me as I had been chosen as a contestant.
I played my game in October 2006, aired 4th December and won £15,000, which I used to pay off a loan and one of my credit card bills, me and my girlfriend treated ourselves with a meal. Did think about a nice holiday, but my focus was getting debt 3, so continued with that focus A year on and with additional savings and a change in job (working loads of overtime) I became debt 3 in October, and what a gr8 feeling it was.
I’ve not seen this posted as an option 4 getting debt 3,,,,but it worked 4 me, and I know that this is a dream option, but maybe some who reads this could find themselves on deal or no deal, golden balls ect…wining thousands of pounds
Kind regards
