    whats classed as disposable ? I have bills / (includes food diesel rent council tax phone etc), I have savings and i have pocket money and most of the time id say i have £0 thats disposable as it all has an intended use.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
    Mortgage - £2,000

  • After I've paid everything out (including all house bills, loan, credit cards, food, petrol etc..) I have at least £600 which is currently being thrown at my credit cards (well most of it anyway ;) ).

    if the mate that owes dh pays his £200 on the 1st of the month (and he very misses a few months !!) we have £188.42 !! however seeing as he is totally unreliable when it comes to payment, very often we have to sacrifice on other things to break even. this means normally being a little more careful on the grocery, which is proving to be very addictive !
    :rotfl: :rotfl: This reminded me of a practical joke. YOu know, the mate owing your boyfriend/husband a couple of hundered quid.

    Anyone know which one? :D

    Based on 2004/5 tax year - which is the accounting year that HMRC rejected and petitioned for my bankruptcy over - therefore it shows on the Great and Infallable Tax Computer :mad: as an incomplete year for contributions. :confused:

    Hmmmm,makes me wild.What do they think you are supposed to live on.After 3 years of illness{depression after her brother was found dead} my wife wished to return to work.During her period of absense no benefits were applied for.However the help she received in trying to re-enter the work place was next to non-existent.
