    :hello: Hello

    Why are you paying 2 water bills?
    And you're paying for phone in one bill but BT in another - is the first one a mobile? Can you cut the cost?

    Can you cut down on the buying of snacks so there's less for them to take? Arrange to do your weekly shop on a Monday night so that they can take things you've not used anyway.

    please don't get another loan. There are other ways to look at your debt. There will be other people along soon with much more info.

    You will get there.
