    Do you actually have £920 left over at the end of every month and what are you actually doing with it? You should be completely debt free in about 6 months if you used this to put towards your debts.

    Try using http://www.whatsthecost.com/snowball.aspx

    Your costs look reasonable but you will want to add in something for car tax/maintenance unless someone else pays this for you?
  • thats what i thought, but were always living hand to mouth.

    going to write down everything i spend this month & see where it is going.

    with regards car tax, that is my xmas present from my parents every year.
