Hi all,

New user to this site and after chatting with the partner have decided to try and reduce outgoing and clear some debt, I have listed what we pay p/w or p/m and wanted a bit of help as to what we are best to do.
I have recently gone self employed and am getting a decent regular wage each week and my wife is currently on maternity leave.

Right here goes....

Outgoings are:

mortgage : 649.00 p/m
council tax : 106.00 p/m
gas : 15.00 p/w
water : 30.00 p/m
elec : 10.00 p/w

These are our joint payments now for my work payments..

diesel : 100 p/w

I earn £700 a week and my partner earn £450 a month.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.
