How about taking in ironing etc? That can make some money for you and can be done in the evening whilst littlun is in bed.
£40 a month for calls and line rental is steep unless you are paying back arreaers. I'm sure you can actually get a package which gives unlimited local and national calls all the time for cheaper.
Alternatively you could consider getting a mobile phone with free minutes on a cashback contract from somewhere but you need to work out who you phone how long for and why- it sounds as though you are fairly high users.

Hi James, I have sent you a PM.

Avoid Fritton Lake - far too expensive. Get the EDP on a Friday as it has a supplement with things to do. As the spring and summer gets underway it will have listings of the village fetes and fun days. Most are free so that they encourage the lovely holidaymakers in, but you may well find it an acceptable way of spending an hour or two with Lewis.

On the day before the schools break up,they often have vouchers in for places as well.

Ive got bt reduced to £27 per month now so that has saved £13 a month to the debt fund.

We had contract fones and we got in up poo creek with them.

Thanks for that HYpno,

I always get the local mercury on a friday but from now on i will get the edp aswell.

Hopefully we can find some cheap days out.

Washing machine cover is the one thing I am prepared to pay for, after our washing machine of less than 2 years decided to pack in. We didn't have any cover for it, so when it gave up the ghost, we had to buy a new machine.

Now, if anything goes wrong with our machine, even if it's just something simple, somebody will come out and fix it for us. If it un-repairable, they will give us a brand new machine.

Its a very good idea but i want to save that £16 per month to pay off a bit more of the debt fund.

If ours breaks down again shells dad should b able to fix it hopefully.
