    Get yourself over to the debt free wannabe section, sounds like you need to take a proper look at exactly what shape your finances are in. Write down every last bit of expenditure and compare it to your income then post it on the DFW section and you will get loads of advice.

    Don't forget to pay bills early enough so that weekends and bank holidays don't stop them getting paid on time - the last thing you need is extra charges.

    Make this your lightbulb moment!!
