I pay £6 unlimited calls, texts, 6gb data per month on Plusnet. It's a rolling contract so only need to give month notice. I got a phone a Samsung for £90 from Argos SIM free about six years ago. Wonder if paying phone outright and getting cheaper contact might help you x

I don't need to get rid of anything as I've got other luxuries that I could get rid of first - I donate to charities, DS does hobbies, we go on days out. First thing I'd get rid of is the charity donations, then DS's swimming lessons, he's been going for 5 years and knows how to swim fine but he's just working on techniques.

I do not own a car or have travel costs.

This has been really interesting to read, thanks to everyone who shared.
