    I said the very same to your old man but the daft bugger only remembered half of it.

    @ OP, PM me a photo and I can see if I can set you up with some contract work.

      Maybe your best bet is to find a partner, if you don't already have one, to share the expenses, as long as they're not spendthrifts and gold diggers!
      I copped a red for this reply, with the comment "One of the stupidest things Ive ever read".

      Would have helped to reply in the thread, explaining why. That way I can try and avoid being so stupid in future.

        I see no other solutions than marrying your lodger. Sorry for the stupid reply but I really hate giving good financial tips for free.
        <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

            Click "Settings" and chances are you'll see what looks like a field of poppies, if somewhat one-dimensional - A sea of green, with a few reds dotted about.

              Ah, infractions. I got one of them a few weeks ago. It has to be said that I was demonstrably innocent, a point conceded by the infractor.

                Head for fool.co.uk - look for the dealing with debt discussion board - they will help hugely once you give them the details.

                Single and on 50k and skint - you are living way beyond your means and will eventually have to pay for that. Still, they do say make hay while the sun shines so hope you have had a good time on the way !!

                You need to get on top of the debt, live below your means - you can still have fun without buying loads of sh!t you don't need.
                Good luck....

                  Maybe those too, but I was talking about negative reps.
