I will use a benefit calculator online. Also, the problem is, the PayDay needs to be paid this month
Which is what made me think about the £1000 over a year idea. 0 -
Sorry - the SOA still isn't right .... there's things from the original one missing in the 2nd one eg groceries.
You have a surplus - use this to clear the PDLs - consolidation is NOT the way forward .....Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
2016 Sell: £125/£250
£1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge #78 £3.96 / £1,000Vet Fund: £410.93 / £1,000

Ok, get over to the old style board. £200 is a lot for 2 people when you are considering taking out another loan.
If your OH doesnt work and is a student doesnt she get LEA type money? Could she be making food from scratch/ ingredients to save some money?[STRIKE]£2200[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£1950[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1850[/STRIKE] £1600 on my credit card
