    Today I made dinner rather than grabbing food from supermarket or take away. I used some random veg to make ratatouie and pasta.

    I took lunch to work then forgot and bought some as boss had a trizzy at us so colleague and I walked to shop for air. :(

    As you say, keep taking baby steps.

    Sorry to say this, but it's £1 a MONTH token payment :eek: My SOA shows a deficit of almost £400 a month before debt repayments so that's what CCCS suggested I offer.

    Bad, isn't it???

    Its not bad at all! You can't pay something that you haven't got! Get them to take you to court the judge will order you to pay what you can afford (£1) and freeze the interest ;)
