Glad you are ok today Pap.

We always have a list when we go shopping, and what I do is check out the prices of the stuff I want at Asda and Tesco so I know roughly how much it is going to be (allowing for stuff being out of stock in the store), and where I can get the cheapest stuff from.

It works for me.

pap, the way you have been feeling is completely normal but it will get better.
You will learn to save and shop well and maybe even enjoy it. I still spend wisely and it helps that my family dont mind the cheaper brands.

Hubby's IVA ended over a year ago but we still budget well and i save the rest.

I'm sure everything will work out well for you and you already know we are all here for you xxxx

Hi PAP

Try not to worry too much. I am probably just a little ahead of you with the process. I have my creditors meeting on Friday...!

Try the Co-op for their basic bank account, it has a debit card (Visa Electron) and get your self a pre paid debit card.

The Creditors have not been too vicious yet, so if all goes well on Friday for me I am sure you will be the same.

I am with Melanie's team also and they have been superb so far.

So good luck and try to keep positive
