you can probably reduce your sky package down by £10 - what does yours include?
why not call people on their landlines for free on evenings and weekends using bt or primus - check out the telephones board on here.
also re. payment protection insurance, does it cover both of you and what exactly does it cover and for how long would it pay out?
gor gas and elec - use a comparison site to see who is best to change to, then use quidco to change and get cashback also.
what about your kitten costs - have you included those in your soa?0 -

I might have to change the food bill as it might be 90, but they only cost me £15 a month
Cheap kitties.. ha ha!
I really don't know what this payment protection is or what it does, so I will look into it tonight when my partner gets home.
My sky has all 6 packages not movies or sport.
Ooooh
I have free weekend and evening calls with sky so I do call people's landlines but I like to have my mobile to text people as I'm here there and everywhere these days.. ha ha!
I will look into comparison sites which one is the best to use?Debt Then 06.07 - £11,000 - Debt Now £0.00

we reduced our sky package by getting rid of the kids and music channels - and i have to say i have lived without them ok!
have a look at the utilities section on this site. you can use something like uswitch to compare energy prices - but they may not automatically give you the best cashback. if you haven't already done so, take some time to look at quidco. i was a little unsure at first, but one year later and nearly £700 on i wouldn't be without it.
also, do you shop around for your kitty litter and food. go to the websites of the products you buy, such as whiskas, catsan etc and sign up for coupons, offers etc too.0 -
Just to let you all know I have managed to get a new job
yay! It was a bit of touch and go for a bit, gives me £300 a month and my partners job pays £1,000 (after tax) a month, so we are both very happy 
I am working on cutting my sky packages (uni has been super busy).. and changing my elec... selling the car next week for a 1.2.. we haven't decided if he is going to travel via car or train yet..
Just thought I would let you know
