    Okay, so this week to reduce outgoings I have done the following: 
    Cancelled the sports packages on the TV (BT Sport £25 and Sky Sports £21 respectively) total saving £46
    Changed the insurance policy on the van total saving £32
    Changed Gas and Electric provider from Scottish Power to British Gas total saving £35
    Cancelled the DD to Welsh Water as it was too much, will call and negotiate lower payment today. total saving??

    I still need to speak to Stepchange for a budget review and get the car sold.

    Sky £108 (last bill, after this payment it will be £51)
    Vodafone £150 (tablet, phone x2, watch - all stuck on contract)
    Current amount in bank; £250 and I need to do a food shop today.
