Just to confirm, you have internet listed as £17.99 a month, and every penny helps - especially hen put towards a debt. What about the food? Do you eat out/takeaways regularly?? Many trips to the pub???

In that case you are counting internet subs twice FYI

Never go the pub have a Newborn. The 17.99 stated comes out of the £325 Day to Day money

Is there anything else duplicated? Its hard to trim a budget when things are down twice

it may sound slightly petty, but £18 missed here and there is how people rack up a great deal of debt, so obviously, every penny counts to getting back on track. And don't get me wrong, I have been in the same situation b4, and it really does need looking at the bits that say food and everyday expenses, even if it's a daily paper or Mars bar. Especially when they total £650.

If you are serious about getting out of debt, theres obviously a long way to go, but it will require some scruitiny(?)

No just that Thanks
