I have cut out clothing as this is something we are trying to curb our spending here! We have way too many clothes... might head on over to ebay with some! We also receive travel expenses from work but this hasn't been included in the income as it varies from month to month.

So, all dirty laundry aired on here... all feedback (non-judgemental preferably!) welcome!
Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:

    Ebay is a great way to earn some extra money (I need to get back on there). Some areas all you need to do is shop around which will mean that you can put more to the debts and become debt free :)

    Good luck
