    Agency rung again, got a late shift today. Night shift tomorrow, and they have booked me up for the rest of next week as well. Also got a few shifts in already the week after that. I cant understand all of a sudden why things are now turning round. Its certainly not the end of the struggle but somehow its getting a little easier. Perhaps me moving away from my situation has helped put me in a better frame of mind. And it has been good being able to focus on things that matter. Still baby steps for now though. Agent going to find out for me what the bills are for house so i can do a budget. And stick to it.

    Really please to learn about the house.

    Can I make another suggestion?

    You mention provident?

    Are you aware that Leeds Credit union do a special loan for people who have not saved with them but have door step collection debts like provident?

    Not sure on the rate in leeds but another one I saw was 2% per month which is high but a lot better then the provident. They have or used to have an office near the market on Kirkgate.
