    Hi Simon, I would really recommend CCCS. I have had to ring them this week and they are the most helpful people. It kinda blows your mind talking to them at first, as there is so much information to take in, but once you have had an appointment with the counsellor, they send everything out to you (in an unmarked envelope), setting out everything you have discussed. Give them a call on 0800 138 1111, they are open 8am to 8pm Mon to Fri, it will be the best free call you make :).

    Can you get a combined package from one supplier that would be much lower?
    Look around at the deals available for new customers!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Groceries etc. ......................... 200
    Try making shopping lists, meal planning etc

    Car Insurance........................... 60
    seems high! Have you done the price comparisons?

    Presents (birthday, christmas etc)...... 50
    Think you should look at reducing this if possible

    Entertainment........................... 240
    You could do with breaking this down for yourself - where does this £240 per month go?

    Holiday................................. 100
    Is this for a pre-booked holiday?

    If you could free up some money from the above to clear off those high interest cards (they are the killers!) that would be a good start
