  • Hi Anna....there should be an insomniac thread on the BR board!!!

    Anyway not sure about HK I thought it was about £160 for one so £250 may be deemed reasonable.

    Sue - I noticed from the SOA that no broadband/internet....is this included in BT ? If not then do you/your son need it for work...if so its worth adding something in there.

    Internet is included in the phone bill, its with vodafone, if you have a contract phone with them you get internet and all local calls for £25.

    The thing with the SOA is, I could have put all sorts in it but whats the point of saying you spend more than you have to live on. It shows a deficit of £95 now.

    I have been awake most of the night trying to work out how to get my direct debits sorted out with a new bank account.
    It will take time to get money in there to pay them and without an overdraft it's a logistical nightmare. If I ring them and say they won't get paid one month no doubt they will want double the amount the following month.
    Just can't work it out without having a lump sum to start the account with. Would the OR frown on taking money from the current bank acc to start a new one?
    Any ideas on this most welcome.

    On another thread someone said the OR does not like it if you pay one creditor more than others.
    So will I be in trouble for having an agreement with 2 of the card companies but not the third. At the time the agreement was made (2005) I did not owe anything to the third one, I only started using it last year.
