It's taken three years. Just paid my last instalment.

I am now back in control.

Just brought 30 quids worth of make up, which may not seem a lot but it is to me. I nearly wet myself in the shop.

Still on benefits but at least half of my income support isn't getting sucked away anymore.

Just need to finish my Degree now and i'm home dry.

Thanks for people who gave me advice, coddy etc when i have had to go to Magistrates courts and get it sorted.

I even brought that Johnsons Self tan pallaver, so i can look healthy and new.

I hope i'm posting in three years that i've just spent 300 quid on make up in Selfridges.

Actually i don't really, it's slightly vacuous.
