Turnip from the Tip,
What do you do for a living? Is there any chance of overtime? If not, could you perhaps get an evening/weekend job, particularly in the run up to Christmas? My OH brings home around £1,000 a month as a (lazy) postman :mad:
What about getting your g/f to post on here too? You might see some ways to cut back between you...?
And the hairdressers, you might get round by going to... um, trainee nights or something? (I only have my hair cut once a year so I can't advise, sorry
)
Keep looking on here, you'll find loads of support :jFFW: Weight 06/01/07 11 st 6lbs 01/02/09 - 9st 6 lb
How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart, you begin to understand. There is no going back.There are some things that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep. That have taken hold.0 -

Hi Turnip, I see you're paying a pension of £80.
I don't know what the general feeling is about pensions, but is there any way you can freeze or stop that.
How much is it going to pay you at retirement, and more importantly how long after retireing would you have to live, just to get back what you have paid in?Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0
