    Looks brilliant, with a big surplus like that every month you should be clearing those debts really soon :beer:
  • Well - satelite/cable is probably the easiest saving to make to be honest - can you reduce the package? or go freeview?
    Childcare - can you get childcare vouchers? does this work out better for you? you need to check how it works though with Working Family Tax Credit if you get that as I have a feeling someone worked out what you would save with the childcare tax vouchers you would loose with the Tax Credit?
    Good Luck
