    Yup, those monthly outgoings will have to come down somehow. Rent and council tax amounts to £740/month, car payment £290/month until November (30 month loan, luckily only 7 months left) Going to be tight.
    Jobs are very difficult to come by. Big noise about fruit pickers but nothing around this area, order pickers/drivers advertising for Iceland, applied for already.
    Farmers just been on the news tonight saying they don't really want British workers as they have no experience and considered unreliable and unlikely to remain available for a whole season.

    Hope you can find something, and or get some reductions inn place.

    Agree that £2100/month expenses feel very high - any way they could be trimmed?
