Not Enough Money for DMP!!

Hi everyone, we had our DMP appointment today with CCCS - it's a no go, for the time being at least, as we are about £400 short every month!!
But I actually feel very positive - there is a little light at the end of the tunnel and it will be reviewed again in 3 months time.
We have a number of things (fines) that will be paid up in that time and that will give us nearly £200 per month, so that's a good start. And DH's money should be going up a little, so that will help too.
We are doing everything we can to cut down, we do menu plans, use vinegar for everything, half doses in machines, etc. We just need to get a little more money together a month so we can get a DMP.
Anyway, we shall see what happens over the next 3 months.
