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.

Scarf

I feel like something of a cliche. I have too many scarves like the Isla Fisher character in Confessions of a Shopoholic.

Today I am taking back a scarf i purchased last week. It is a delight of riotous spots in 100 per cent pure silk. However, As i have only £5.75 in the bank and £3.00 in my purse I really need that fiver back. I get paid next Friday and i need to buy food, take a ride to a couple of places mid week and feed my hungry electric meter, which has only £2.88 of credit left on it.

I feel hugely guilty as i actually bought another scarf with it and i just can't bear to part with it. So instead i have chosen three more scarves to sell on Ebay.

I have good news too. My uncle is getting a new computer next month and will give me his old machine. My mum has promised to get me online at my flat so that I don't have to travel in order to use a computer. This will save me some pennies so I am delighted.
