Who?

I am a 36 year old debtor living in Northern England with about £20,000 pounds worth of debt and no clear way of paying it off. I could be your neighbour or your friend as no one discusses debt. Debtors used to be carted off to debtor's prisons now we mainly exist in metaphorical prisons.

Follow me as I try and keep my head above water with my finances.

I make some money!

I have managed to make nearly £45.00 by selling DVDs and CDs that I no longer use. It's ingenious! You just type in the bar code, then you are offered a price for your goods (which seems paltry compared to what you actually paid for it!) They even pay the postage costs for returning the said item. I'm going to dig out my old records and see where I can flog them in a similar vein! The problem with this is that I have now sold my items I didn't want and thus have only things I really like. I think I can only trim back the collection one more time or else I would be depriving myself of things I will actually listen to.

I still have my extra tenner from my budget and the fiver that I owe the boyfriend. Sadly I had an unnecessary incident with some banana cake, magazine and a large bag of prawn cocktail crisps yesterday.
