Help needed

Hi, Been on and off this page now for abut 1 year. I had my LBM in January and starting clearing my debt - last 2 months have been expensive due to getting a new kitchen (very much needed as the old one was 30 years old and falling off the walls literally) but Im still owing less than before so not too bad considering. Can anybody post me a SOA form and help me find ways of cutting back (although I have cut back to the bone as is it)
