    Hi - great to hear you sounding positive... and how lucky having a beach close by, which coast are you on? I'll be jealous if Devon...

    We live on the east coast of england in Essex.

    Spent the afternoon ebay and washing, Listed 21 items so far got a few watchers. Went for a little walk to clear my head. Was thinking bout getting a full job, but i dont want to take to much on, still weak at times and get tired easy.

    Today i not spent any money. Going to do a chat with what need paying next month and how much we got left to over pat on the catlogue, Want to get them pay off first.

    At work all day tomorrow so i gonna get the rest off the listed done tonight and do some more on monday on my day off.

    Hubby said some hurtful things this afternoon saying i not trying hard enought to clear the debt. I dont think he understand it me that does all the paper work and make sure we dont go overdraw and all the bills get pay.

    I mean business this time.

    Hi and welcome. Have you thought about daily clicks? Might only be pennies but its free (assuming you are on broadband not dial up). Pigsback is quite good, I do it for my friends as they don't have the time, only takes 5 mins a day.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Hi Indebt, I just wanted to wish you well. The best advice I got was to pay the debts with the highest APRs first that looks like your catalogues, Burtons and Evans as well. It will save you loads on interest more money to pay the others off. I will second tealady on the daily clicks. After a few months it may earn you £20 plus a month. Also set yourself small goals once you reach them you will feel a sense of achievement and a little more motivated!
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.

    I was going to recommend you cancel the TV insurance and when you're tv goes, register with your local freecycle and get one from someone on there. My local freecycle is always giving away tv's which are working fine...

    Good luck!
