Hello everyone!
Not sure I'm in right place, but oh well :o
I'm brand new to MSE and I am so glad I found it! I have been in debt for years - mainly due to a failed business and a lot of money being stolen - and have just buried my head in the sand. However now after reading this site I feel I am finally able to do something about it. Have been selling on e-bay - got a negative already off an aggressive buyer claiming item wasn't washed! - and trying to budget. All very hard to do but much better with the help from here! So debt at the moment:

£2,200 Council tax
£7,500 Alliance and Leicester Loan
£7,000 Credit Card.:eek:

Wish me luck!! :D
DEBT JUNE 2008 - £17,807.53:eek:
DEBT SEPTEMBER 2008 - £16,325.70
WINS: £150 THEATRE TOKENS, £100 CASH, MAMMA MIA SOUNDTRACK, RIZZLA WALLET, TREK BAR, BOTTLE OPENER, KEY RING :T
