    OK so done a new SOA for the pending changes.
    What I need is areas for suggestions to try and save some more money.
    I've not include our debts as we already overpay, and pay a total of 670 against the debts.
    Factored in our increased travel costs, and pet insurance when we get the dog..... now where else can I shave some off?

    The £30 I listed for clothes can be deducted immediately as we dont need anything and wont do for a while yet:A

    £50 for mobile phones is both of ours, contract should be up in a couple of months for mine and I think I will probably just get the cheapest contract available, as mine only cost about £18 a month. DH needs to change his when its up in May though
