  • Have you checked your contents insurance to see if Laptop and Washer are covered?
    What exactly does Homecare cover?
    Thank you - yes I should definitely check the contents, I've been pretty lazy at shopping around for new insurance and have had this and the buildings or about 3/4 years! Homecare is with British Gas and covers the electrics, boiler, plumbing, drains - I have used it loads in the past so feel its a security blanket (I probably over insure yeah? I just get nervous being solely responsible for my house without another adult or landlord)

    Your Gas & Electric seems expensive, can you look at switching? 
    There are other things you could get rid of, spotify , gym, postcode lottery which will save. 
    You say you put £75 away for an emergency fund but there is nothing in the cash part of your SOA, is this a new thing going forward?
