hi

ive managed to get :

ntl to pay my 14.50 phone bill for 3 months

credit cards moved to 0% and 3% apr (didnt have enough credit to put them all on 0% - but better than what i have been paying 19%!!!!!)

orange mobile - cant change tarrif for another 2 months but the nice bloke there took of 3 things that i was paying for that i didnt need i.e email and internet

i dont think that i can reduce/ change my sky+ until oct due to contract?

so my question is what else can i reduce....


gas and leccy on a prepayment meter (i no it can work out dearer but i dont manage money well!!!)

loan cant be changed as its on divorce proceeding.....

did the water meter questionaire and id be worse off.

What about insurances? Pet, car, house, life?

Internet at the cheapest you can get it?

Erm...... :think: ...... minds gone blank now!

you could try haggling in Nettos over their value baked beans, but that might be pushing it.

I think you can change sky packages, and I'm sure I've read on a post that if you tell them you're thinking of cancelling they offer you 3 months half price. Phone 'em and see what they say.

Check the discounts and freebies boards.

I can't remember the last time a meal out wasn't 2for1.

plus the tesco R&R thread for free groceries!

Bank accounts: choose one which gives good credit interest and interest free overdraft.

Remortgage: get the best rate if you can

Pigsback / Yougov etc for free vouchers and cash.

You could try moving over to these people http://www.ebico.co.uk/

They charge the same no matter how you pay. So you can keep you prepayment meter.

Have a look and see if they are cheaper than who you are using at the moment.

If they are then swap over.

Forgot to say.

Give them a try say that you having money problems and you need to cut back and what is the min service you have with out breaking your contract.

Then in october threaten to leave and get a freeview box.


All the best.

Try barclaycard for your house ins if they cant beat what they are paying they reduce your price and give you fifty quid.
Are you going through quidco when you are looking at switching things by the way..... I just got fifty quid for changing my bank, £10 for changing my phone, £30 for changing my gas and electric and there are loads of ins offers on too. These are in addition to the offers the companies have on!!!!

I earned around £150 by sitching to comapnies who will save me money anyway!!!
