    Well, just signed for a very nice large room in a flat, so feeling a little brighter. It's £375 a month all inclusive, so some belt tightening will have to go on, but such is life. It really is a lovely room. Obviously I don't want to go anywhere but this is the alternative. Thanks for all the support today, it's made me feel like I could grab the bull by the horns and sign this afternoon!!

    Hi ellerose,

    As some of the other good people have said , in the absense of a "time machine" we cant rewrite the past. We,re stuck with the present ,debt, stress and giving away our hard earned. Being down, tired, lonely and some more, goes with the debt. Its took me 46 yrs to learn how this "game" works, thanks to this site and people like martin, were learning to get wise . Be positive and you sound young enough to beat this and never repeat the same "mistakes", "misjudgements" or "bad calls" !!. What we all have done before the internet :rolleyes: .

    Good luck !

    take care
