£200 is a lot of money on food - how many of you are there? I'm sure if you pop over to the Old Style board they can help you minimise this as mcuh as possible.

Hi Carlih 1 - looks as if you've done a lot already so a really good start.:j

Is there any way you can reduce your mobile phone from £40 - it does seem quite a bit ?

I have reduced my package as was paying over £100 a month before, but with all the texts and calls i get i dont pay any extra over the top, i don't use the house phone for calls anymore.

Do you get the singles person council tax reduction?

Your mobile bill could still be cut some more aswell as your electricity and gas. Are you in the habit of turning things off you don't use and not leaving things on standby that sort of thing?

Have you considered calling the CCCS?

I knew I'd seen it somewhere - just re-found the link for how to get Sky to reduce your monthly bill - and it says the best time to phone is Tuesday & Wednesday, so get dialling!
