The just of it is I feel like I am drowning in debt and I need to get it under-control. The sum equals 2500-300 it may seem like measly amount to most of you but to me its a huge amount. I have already cut back but need to tighten my belt even more but I'm stuck for tips and things to help me do so. <br>I feel that the interest rates are crippling. My debt is spread between store accounts and one credit card. <br><br>I already do as much as I can <br>I shop in aldi and Lidl, My food budget for a week is about 10 up to 20 at a push My daughter wears lidl nappies for a nighttime. We walk everywhere and rarely get the bus. Most day trips are free museums and parks. We take lunches and drinks with us. <br>My daughter always seems to grow and needs new clothes or shoes. One thing or another always seems to crop up such as birthdays or the school want money for something else, Since my daughter started nursery I have forked out quite a sum buying all the uniform coats shoes ect, and with dd having a growth spurt I have to buy more uniform <sigh> oh and the teachers are expecting a gift there are three!<br>I'm trying desperately to save the rest of the amount for our little weekend away next month as the payment is due in a couple of weeks plus we'll need spending money that's a few hundred just there and I have another family birthday next month. Expense just never ends. I'm barely floating above the water and xmas will be upon soon and my family is huge.<br><br>Any ideas gratefully received.
