tjretro Debt Diary

Options
Thanks to all the advice on my other thread we now have some ideas on where to start and the whole thing looks a little less daunting than before. Tomorrow is a new beginning.

First thing we are going to do is get my girlfriend a new bank account and reclaim charges back from HSBC. They must have taken a small fortune from us , particularly over the last 2-3yrs. If/When we get any money back from them can go towards paying off the debts. :cool:

I have a long list of things planned out that need doing, I would type it up but I'm too tired to do it now _pale_
