HI Mike
I know exactly where you are coming from, not with debt but with life.
I too wrote the notes to the kids, laid out the tablets, pour the vodka,cried over the phote, then realised it would be me that was hurting them by doing it in the first place
I'm glad you have come through the other end and £3 is not too bad, you know you can do it.
Have you looked at the "challenges"? I've joined the £10/day one, lots of us have won money with"no-risk" bingo

Welcome Mike,
What a moving story, glad you came through it in one piece, got to say like everyone else the "bubbles" did bring a smile to my face. Yours is the kind of story that inspires people to fight to clear their debts and get control of their lives once more.
Good luck for the future, and I'm sure that clearing £3K will be a breeze after £25K.
