Hello, I'm new here. I came upon the website after seeing Martin on GMTv. What a godsend he is.:money:

I've been reading through a lot of the posts and there is loads of advice. It is comforting to know there are others in similar situations to myself.

I will get round to doing a SOA after I have sorted through all my debts, but I *think* it is around £7k. I work full time plus have a bar job. It is hard work but it is currently bringing me in an extra £300 per month (after tax).

My partner has just moved in with me to help with bills and rent and stuff so that has helped me a lot. financially and emotionally - sleepless night worrying, etc. He doesnt know how much debt I am in though..

Look forward to getting invovled and getting tips and advice off everyone.

:hello:

Welcome to MSE and Debt Free Wannabe!

As soon as you have posted your SOA you will get loads of advice/help from people on here, its great! And its a great relief off your mind to know that you are dealing with it all.

I find it helped me to write it all down.

Why dont you also try joining one of the challenges on here, like make £10 extra a day in May (you can choose how much you want to make, and its surprising how much you can! Ebay is my friend! :rotfl: )

Anyway, welcome and good luck.
