    Yes - well done. Just out of interest, did you manage to give up smoking?
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Hi guys,

    An update for you. I had to move out of home this year so things have become slightly more difficult for me but i am now down to approx £9k with my debts and about to start a DMP with CCCS. Its gonna take another 4-5 years to get myself clear but i am definately seeing a way out of it all. I think though looking back it is much easier to use CCCS or PayPlan or the like than going it alone like i did. i think it would have been a lot quicker too but thats by the by. And as for the smoking. Roll ups are awesome! i cant even roll them so i have a little machine, it can be embarassing in public but then again you can always make them before you go out and most people i know actually smoke roll ups over tailormades in the current climate. But at least if nothing else, it can be done and i am proof. :j

    Thanks Martin & everyone from the forums.

    I may be missing something but - You were almost debt free last March, but now have 9k debt again?

    Well done so far, nevertheless.
