Go for it. We'll do what we can to help.

It may be useful to consider monthly outgoings aswell (Sky subscriptions, mobile bills e.g.)

Bottle of wine = £17,250

Not bad but have you considered reading the paper online or if you are in an area where they give out the free paper get that, did you buy 1 cereal bar or a box to last all week? Or you could make your own see the Old style recipe thread.
