However I'm still trying to convince the Mrs that a brand new SRT8 is the way forward. So, I'm looking at cancelling the following services:

Du contract - 1,200 a month
The Pool cleaner - 350 a month
Cut down on the alcohol bill - say 2,000 a month
Wash the cars myself! - ok, about 200 a month!

I'm about there with the repayments!!! Think of anything else? Any other options? I would actually stop smoking but that would only save 200 a month.

And with a little one on the way, I would say a new SRT8 is the last thing you should be thinking about.

But FFS AED1200 on Du - how many packages/lines do you have?

Also, what about moving to a smaller pad i.e. enough for 2 adults and a little one?

To be fair, the deal we got on our villa, we wouldn't save much by moving.
