    Maybe I've missed something in the SOA. Where is the fast food cost covered?

    Certainly your cigarette bill is disproportionate to the remainder of your spending, and nearly as much as what you spend on all the rest of your groceries put together., Could you force yourself as soon as you get paid, to use the £125 for your cigarettes towards paying off your debt. it would be hard going 'cold turkey' but think of this as a health benefit, reducing the risk of getting cancer, as well as a cost saving.
    Learning to cook simple meals from scratch would reduce your grocery bill. Think of it as acquiring an extra skill. There will be lots of free cookery books on loan from your local library, and cheap cookery books in charity shops.
