Hello

Deep_In_Debt

Yep, as other poster has said - there are ways to save money on food bills. I now shop in Lidl and already save money and eat well and I can afford some occasional extra treats which I couldn't do before as I am spending less overall on food. I manage to live on a maximum of £70 per month, ok, it is just me and my 2 cats but it can be done for less, I'm sure. Cleaning products don't need to be bought every week and I rely on good old bleach and cheap products, they probably do the same as the "named" brands anyway.

My job is no where near the same as yours but I worked in Financial Services for 12 years as an advisor (rubbish with my dosh but good with others!) and got made redundant. Although, I received a lump sum redundancy payment, it was not enough to clear off my debts (yikes!) so I made F&F on some of my debts. However, I still have debts that need paying.

I've registered with loads of agencies and have got a temp admin job. It keeps the wolf from the door and keeps me ticking along. It's not what I want to do but it's better than nothing at all. I told the agencies that I was flexible in terms of temp work as I needed the money so they've kept me in work since August. Also, if I find a company I would like to work for whilst temping then I already have my foot in the door.

Chin up - and well done for posting on here.

Well that's Sky gone - but they've actually let me keep the kids channels until January for free ! Just need to make a note to phone them back at the end of November to cancel them - result ! Thanks to the people who said you still get the freeview channels thorugh the box when you cancel it - I didn't know that and you do still get quite a few !! Now, time to get that job !! Off to see another couple of agencies tomorow ...

hehehe and I bet you're feeling more in control too
It's amazing what you can acchieve really and once you feel positive you will find it easier to find jobs too - a positive "can do" attitude goes a long way in interviews
