Partner works but struggling to get by because of me.

Is your SOA realisitic though? I am surprised that you don't spend any money at all but for some clothes on your daughter? Never a present, never taking her out, never going to a birthday party when you need to buy a present, not one activity etc....

We don't because we really can't afford to. If we take her any were her Nan gives us a couple of quid to do it, Xmas was paid for with a bit of the car loan.

What did the debts go on? Because if it mainly every day living, then I think the extent of it means that even with all the best intentions, your SOA might not be realistic.

The oldest one went on my partner when he had a few personal problems but the newer ones were to keep our head above water.

Are you joking??? £160 per month equates to £36 a week, for 2 adults and a kid?? I presume "groceries" also includes cleaning materials, toiletries, and general bits and bobs.

Yeah our groceries I've classed as everything I'd buy on my shop.




Mine is unlimited (apart from data usage) and that includes the phone, and it's £29 pm.

Ours is £20 pm and that is for unlimited calls all the time, but no TV. Ditch the TV bit of it and use Freeview.

I'm going to try and sort them two things today.
Thank you
