Right I need to start everything over. I don't want this debt forever but I also want to live a bit.

Debt = 10413

SOA:

Income = 1276

Rent = 346.66 (includes bills)
Travel = 50
Food = 50
Mobile = 35
Tiscali = 30 (landline, internet, tv)
Mum = 30 (paying mum back, she knows nothing about the debt)
Tuition = 50 (changes)
Web = 30 (web hosts)
Total = 573.66

Left = 702.34

Extras
Skating = 30-70
emergencies/holiday etc = 100-200

Current debt payment = 350
from Jan 09 = 400

Left = 32.34 - 132.34

I need to have 400 by July for Uni & I'm in NY in Feb. If all goes well I'll be getting a 3% pay rise in April and a bonus in March of £300 (after tax). I already have most of my NY money (750 of it anyways).

I am looking for a second job but I can't find one or at least not one who will reply to my applications. If anyone knows of evening/weekend work going in the London area (central + east) please let me know.
