  • Thanks guys for your comments. The only thing I can't change is my rent at present, but I'll have a look at everything else.

    Reason being, I need a 2 bed place for my kids to come and stay. I will, however, look for a new place in April, once my contract is up, (otherwise it's 30 days notice plus £100 to get out early!)

    Yes, mobile phone bill looks horrendous. Do you need it for business purposes. Could you just not use your landline. that would save you an awful lot of money. Alternatkively get a Pay As You Go and use it for emergencies only. Also, do you really need Satellite TV? Couldn't you compromise with just Freeview until your debts were cleared?
