Hi, sorry but am confused by your figures?? Can you clarify a bit? Thanks! Oh, and well done for getting yourselves both into work, and for reducing your debt by £550!!0

Congratulations on the new job.
Your internet, electricity and sky all strike me as being high. You can get broadband free with sky (if you are ok with a limited download limit otherwise you can pay more but it'll still be cheaper than what you have now - see sky website) What sky package do you have? It's quite pricey. Could you cut down on the channels you have. I have the basic package for £18 per month. Check on a comparison website for the best electricity deal. I would read Martin's article on finding the cheapest supplier. This will tell you the best website to use.
Good luck!0
