  • Thanks dancing fairy and hypno - you have given us alot to think about. It hadnt really occured to me that £400 was alot for food etc per month - there is only the two of us so I can see now where it can be trimmed down.

    And the hair thing ....... Can definately see that that has to go for the time being .....

    Emergency fund ..... have approx £600 in there at the mo so that would easily cover a new washing machine etc if we needed it. Will put that on hold for now and put the extra towards my debts.

    Thanks so much to everyone who has helped ..... x

    personally a good emergancy find for me would be £1000 if not £1500.

    you'd be surprised how quick it can go if you have something go wrong in the house.
