just like to say tahnkyou to martin and all the posters on all the boards. I did'nt do an SOA as my debts are not huge about £3000 but I have taken everyones advice. Put my savings in my current account as I was so over my overdraft limit last month I got charged £125. My savings are for a visit to Oz in November to visit relations one of whom is very ill so I still intend to go. I have changed to Talk Talk 3 which should save about £20 a month, switched my car insuraqnce and paid by credit card then did a lob to intellegent finance. Also been following all the tips on old style and doing my own store cuboard challenge. I have been lucky enough this month to get a £200 bonus from work and also £159 on employee share dividend which I had forgotton I had. So after being paid today I am for ONCE actually in credit. I wont be getting out of debt this year because of going to Australia but I shall keep up with the being extremely tight and have just turned down going out with my friends from work for a chinese (sigh). Going shopping when I am off here as there is nothing much left in my store cupboard and we have had some very unusual meals this week. I have to buy ds guitar strings and sons bike tyre, but intend to go to boots for free offers and aldi for food. Unfortunately I work for a supermarket so it is very easy to overspend when I am there every day and see customers doing it all the time. Anyway thanks a lot everybody.
