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.

Pressure

I'm down to pennies again. I owe the boyfriend £15 quid and a meal. I can't decide whether to pay the meter or him.

I have put some more things up for sale on eBay. I have finally realised what I can sell at a profit, knowing a few good cheap shops as I do. I just need some capital for this venture. Awaiting my payment for my CDs with eagerness.

Skipped this morning's meeting, saving an extra £1 for the reduction of the overdraft. It's slow going but it may be worth it.

Today will be a no spend day and i'm delighted about this. It feels good to be free of the trappings of commerce. My mum is out spending again and I'm horrified at what unnecessary purchases she buys. Still someone else's spending is really none of my business.
