Thats the outgoings, to be honest as you can see l dont really need much help with this as l wouldnt change any of the above as we both dont go out very often, dont smoke and dont drink so things like changing the sky package, setanta or kids fees is a no go, the only thing l might do there would be to change the sky package to a tv,phone and internet deal to see if it saves me money!

My wife feels she was bullied by Egg and is now paying them 160 per month in repayment over 10 years, is this correct or can this be renegotiated?With the money that is left over from our wages, l want to service the debts with this, is it enough?? l have tried to negotiate with a couple of creditors with no joy, they seem to want me to go through a third party.
Please Please help me, I understand you may think it is a little cheeky to say l wont change much of our monthly expenditure, maybe l just have to do this, just need some direction in getting of those debts.
I feel we are turning a corner now as there is finally no credit available as our rating has gone so we are on our own which in my eyes will be a blessing in disguise in the long run.Appreciate anybody who could offer me some guidance, thanks very much for your time!Best Regards Dps.

how much are the repayments on the outstanding debt you do not say.
Your bt bill is huge as is the sky.
you can get internet and broadband for £20 per month from talk talk this includes free calls nationally and internationally all day everyday.
Shopping is way too much you could knock £100 per month off that easily.
Why do you need setanta if youhave sky?
There,s a £170 saving per month and i am not that good. others will save you much much more.Make £11,000 in 2011 / ebay £6000
