    hiya,think you need to have a look over this,am presuming you have "lumped" all outgoings into the groceries bit? you need to fill out in all different sections to get best advice!
    good luck:)
  • Excuse this rather blunt response.

    Okay so:

    1) You have a car yet you pay no tax, insurance, fuel, maintenance, or parking
    2) You have a property worth £140k but pay no mortgage, buildings insurance, water rates
    3) You spend over £20 A DAY on food!!
    4) You don't buy any presents, get your hair cut, buy clothes for your kids, take them out anywhere?
    4) You have over 5 grand sitting in the bank earning virtually nothing, yet you are paying up to 29.9% on your debts which you could wipe out immediately

    Are you sure this SOA paints the real picture? According to that, you don't have a debt problem so why are you posting on DFW?

    Yeah, you could pay it off in about 4 months, IF your SoA is correct. Suggest you keep a spending diary and check out whether you have a money leak.
