    Hi
    I'd second doing a spending diary and writing everything down! I found this was a revelation. I've not done it recently ad have found things sneaking into the food budget that are not food! :)

    Look on Ebay - yearly subs for Xbox £25 proper one - someone recommended me this when I mentioned my Oh and his love for xbox. Would be worth a look?

    Hi

    From what I have read, if you rented out your spare room more long term, you could makea lot of extra money and wont have to give up the gym. If you are used to living on your own im sure its hard, but think how much quicker you could pay your debt off.
