    I make your outgoing £2018 which means you overspend each month by about £263.

    Is the food etc just for you? Can you reduce this? Can you get rid of your mobile phone and stop having meals at work? Is there any chance of increasing your income - get a second job, sell stuff on Ebay etc? Have you got a spare room that you could rent out?

    You seem to have c£55K in personal loans, is that right? That's quite high - maybe a DMP would be a good idea. Try speaking to one of the Debt Management Companies over the phone and see what they advise (one of the FREE ones!) At the moment you are spending over half of your income repaying debts and that is without including your mortgage.
    :p

    yes food just for me, I will take sandwichs in that should save some money.

    I am tied in a contract with the mobile phone so not sure ?

    I work 6 days a week so second job will be hard to fit in,

    no spare room,:-(

    yes 55K in unsecured loans :-(

    I am trying to buy and sell on ebay, but running out of stuff to sell :-)


    I was going to call CCC this week and see what they say

    any more ideas or help
