    Hi everyone :wave:
    Mine are:
    1. Finish claiming back bank charges
    2. Finish off rebuilding the house (we had a new road built nearby and i'll be entitled to about £3k compensation due to all the noise and mess....whooo hoo it's only taken 2 1/2 years to complete!!!)
    3. Start a small business
    4. Try and snowball debt upwards - (bit like stoozing but with my debt if you see what i mean. Clear one debt use that to combine with, and pay off another etc etc)
    ...........phew.........
    and finally try and have a better 2008 than 2007. Seriously after the 12 months I've just had, the next 12 can only be better cos they couldn't be any bl*8dy worse!
    Good luck everybody,

    2) find out who exactly has my natwest debt now and how to go about getting it sorted so I can pay off the part of the debt I legitimately owe
    3) contact my uni and arrange monthly payments for debt with them (after sorting natwest thingy since this debt does't have interest on it -wahey!)
    4) cancel my natwest credit card (I didn't even know I had one til they sent me statements from them, at least they haven't charged me anything)
    5) plan/start researching a saving-scheme for after debts are cleared
    6) budget for music-purchases over the next 12 months and get this sorted out as its where I want my career to go
