    Hi and Merry Christmas.
    I second Tustastic - post an SOA. You'll be advised to get rid of Sky and try to reduce your car insurance which seems atronomical. You quote living expenses as £300 pm - what does this cover? If you and GF have an income of £2100 from the above you seem to be 'losing' aroung £500pm.
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
  • Mate don't know if you've added it all up before but your debt totals £37,405

    I really wouldn't look at getting a mortgage until this has been paid off!

    Is the debt both of yours or just yours? :confused:

    First things first, post the SOA as requested and then get your spending under control. :)
