    What a lovely post and one which I think sums up how a lot of us feel on here.

    Finding this forum has not only encouraged my LBM it has changed my life in so many ways. I now know that if I stay here I WILL be a DFW.

  • Fantastic Post, I feel exactly the same. I had my lightbulb moment not long ago and felt extreme panic for the mess I had gotten my family into. After a few hours going through this site and many phone calls later, I feel in control and able to buckle down and face my debts and stop the spending pattern I had gotten myself into.

    I don't know what hundreds, maybe thousands of people would have done if they had'nt have come across this site and had the immense help.

    Huge thanks to Martin Lewis for setting it up, but without all you fantastic people on here helping out, this site would'nt be half the site it is.

    BIG THANKS FROM ME TOO.

    I know, its so fab, I am still totally gobsmacked by the way people all pull together to help each other, for total strangers to spend so much time helping is truly amazing. Had I not been party to it myself I think I would struggle to believe it happens.

    I am nearly 3 weeks into finding this place and the difference it has made is astounding, don't get me wrong I still avnt got a pot to p in but I am not on my own as such and for every hiccup I encounter, there's someone out there willing to listen and there's usually a solution!!!

    Medals all round for MSE yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lol
