well the good news is EQD have accepted the payment plan so although it will take a long time to clear it aat least its aanother debt im dealing with
the bad news is i have fallen behind my hopeful monthly payments so after this very expensive bank holiday weekend (meal for eldests gcse results and uniform buying) i shall have to start paying things off with a vengence, suppose after this month is over i wont need to spend much over my normal bills so should get back on track fairly quickly
