Excellent news, Phil :beer:
That's good going and commitment!

Keep going with it Phil.
Just keep working your way through the site and the links down the left hand side. It always amazes me, just when I think that I've stripped all my finances down to the core, the site comes up with yet another way that I can save some cash.
Look into options like switching phone providers, shopping around for an unsecured loan to replace your credit cards, or better still look into that 0% Halifax card and do a 0% balance transfer, switching your internet, shopping around for insurance, switching mortgages, changing gas/electricity suppliers, budgeting for food shopping / menu planning, taking lunch to work intead of buying it out, cancelling newspapers and reading news online instead etc.
I cancelled my Sky sub this summer after being a subscriber for the past 10 years. I still get all of the freeview channels through my Digibox, and I don't miss the other channels one jot! Give it a go. If you don't get on with it, they'll have you reconnected within 4 hours! so you've really nothing to lose and potentially £400 to claw back!
The site has even inspired me to become an Ebay seller (I've made £400 profit selling stuff out of my Mum's loft in the past six weeks alone!). If I can do it, anyone can.
Take care
