    It's closer still need to find £91 per month. Are you sure that road tax is £396 per year? Your car's maintenance bill is quite high considering your fuel bill is only £60 per month. And Electricity...£89 is quite high. If it includes arrears they'll be written off in BR so no need to include them.

    Dam forgot to change the road tax, that was for both cars.
    ok back to drawing board and see what else i can change!.
    The electricity well thats a DD each month which bablances out over the year, if they owe you, you get the amount lowered if we oe them it goes up a bit each month. its just been lowered from £109 a mth.
    Electricity is our main energy, gas for the cooker only.

  • Hmm well a lot can happen in two months..
    Just about ready now to go BR, dealt with my car which i no longer have, and two debts less.
    However my relationship has now ended after 9 years, although we are sharing the rented house until the lease is up in feb, but then i could be homeless as i cant afford the rent on my own.
    Ive been signed of college now for over a month and signed off until the middle of January.
    Had what could probably be my crappiest birthday the other day and i am certainly not looking forward to christmas at all, ive been trying to joke about it saying i will have a lidl roast ready meal for my christmas dinner then listen to my billy no mates cd!!
    It feel like i am wading through quicksand every day, everthing is such a struggle.
    I know i am not alone in the fact so many of you have/are going through the same problems..
    Got another CAB meeting next wednesday so hopefully i will have things in order to file for my lila. I have the £100 required for this.
    Ive filled in all the relevant local housing application forms, but there is just no houses available. Not sure if i can survive all this everytime i try to stand up i get booted down again.
    ha funny story, i was getting loads of phone calls from a debt company looking for somebody else, told then on numerous ocassions the person did not live here, got to the point there i shouted at the asian sounding person on the phone to stop bloo** calling, ha she then proceeded to call me a bas**** then phoning back saying the same.. so i got a brand new telephone number, suppose the good bit is my own creditors dont have my new number to hound me.
    so that the latest anyway..
