It has probably been removed because of the more abusive posters. Carry on with this one because 99.9% of the people here are brilliant and will continnue to help you.I was in the middle of posting to tell you to use the ignore part when it disappeared. Good luck.

sky £43 X 12 months = £516 .. are you getting good value for your money ???

There is a thread on the shop but don't drop forum about sky tv, it is an interesting read as I too am tied in for another 3 months. Give it a read because there are some suggestions on there about phoning sky and lowering the price, even when you are tied in to a contract.You may be able to get out of it all together - if I remember rightly - someone said they did because they moved, then you could get a freeview box if you are in the right area for it.

try tescos or another supermarket for night work. I used to do it and it was great.

Plus if you get into supermarket work, you normally get a staff discount card to help bring those shopping costs down

Don't Sky do a free broadband if you have BT Phone? Also you can reduce your sky package to the minimum which i think is about £15 per month.

Change your weekly shopping time to midweek 7/8 o'clock and you may find that there are lots of reduced food items.

no they always say that. Be firm, just tell them that you cant afford it, and that if they continue to provide the service thats thier l;uck out as you are stating that you simply do not have the money to pay for it.
if they can give you the cheapest cheapest, then maybe youll consider it, but otherwise you simply dont have the money. You could say, Ive looked at our budget and I have a fiver a month which I could pay, do you have anything for that much ?

With a bit of luck they will aollow you to back out. If they dont ask if they are aligned to a charity to help you pay the bill as you wont have the cash.

See what they say then .

travel £64(drs appointments,dentist,shopping)

this can be reduced as you dont need dentist visits every month, also, you can save money by doing your shopping online (Tesco are very good), you will pay a delivery charge but it would be quarter of the price of a taxi fare.

you should think about getting rid of the car as its a luxury you cant afford to have at the moment, even if its not worth anything you will be saving yourself shelling money out for services, MOT and road tax.

The travel expenses cannot be cut thats the bare minimum youve got to remember i have 5 children which i have to pay half fares for 2 of them not 20p either im talking £3 for a return each then about £5.40 each for me and my husband.So really some months its more.
