Wow, thank you all for your time and lovely posts. First form and budget sent to Tina and I am rally looking forward to the next steps now.
I desperately want to get moving as I feel guilty about everything, every thing I purchase from buying lunch to mending the fence that blew down.
I've not stopped paying my creditors yet as I feel it's too early but as soon as Tina says go, I'll do it.
For my bank account I chose the Nationwide as they have no links with anyone else, no overdraft but it is the Flexi-account. I thought this was okay as I have seen it mentioned in a few placed on here as being fine.
I would stop paying your creditors as soon as the next payment date falls due. You can use this money to build up a contingency fund and also make your first payment.
Nationwide are fine - we use them as our main account and have no problems.
