Constructive day today

Today I changed my signeture. Al though I couldn't fit my arreas in which are:Scotish Power (Gas) £191.40. Southen Electric (elec) £538.88 Anglian water £201.08 Council Tax£ 2,250.31 Essex and sulfolk water (waste) £135.08.

I have also brought a little black box and filed all my debt letters in. I am in a DPM and pay £80 pound a month. As the months go on I will decrease the amount I owe.

I also rang my gas supplier to give a proper reading (as I have been on estimates) and they reduced my outstadning bill by £200.

Today I have had a good day. Although I still have my laptop problem. I work with computers and 3 of my friends wanted a laptop so they transfered the money into my account and it got swollowed up by my overdraft (not agreed) so now they are expecting laptops and I cant buy them!!!

Thats the bad side of my day but its been a constructive one
:hello: 2006 = over £15000

    Like every one I still have problems and things that are waiting to be paid. I am not sure how I am going to sort the laptop problem out or how I am going to pay my phone bill but I am sure it will all come out in the wash.

    Does any one have any suggestions for my arreas? I dont know what but any comments will be helpfull. My council tax is going to be taken straight from my wages :-( thats not good but I left it to long getting it sorted out
