    I wasn't expecting a response! I thought I was stuffed!

    I will start selling things of on ebay very soon. As for scratchies I'm just scratching my head, I don't know what that is. I also don't know what you mean by cashback.

    The loan is difficult as it is secured to my parents as is my rent.
    Council tax is a long story, please see my other thread about the bailiffs.
    The food bill is getting better as I have been buying veg from the market and other things from Iceland which has turned into a pound shop. As for rice, I eat a lot of rice as my wife is Chinese.

    I'm lucky most of my bills are included in the rent.
