    just to clarify, why do you pay sewage to one water board and water to another - seems very odd, may be worth investigating ad 40 quid a month is a lot for water.

    Happens a lot in the south - same applies at my place. Twisterfreak, if you haven't got a water meter, might be worth getting. Also, get rain butt and re-use bath etc water on the garden if you can;sewage company should give you discount for doing that.

    If you give the % interest being charged on your debts, it will help people identify which ones should be paid off first.
  • Thanks to everyone here. All great suggestions and people who are obvioulsy genuine and concerned. Don't think i have ever been on a forum quite like this before.
