I've just spent £185 on glasses
£73 on a passport, I'm going to Paris on Valentine's Day, Amsterdam at the end of March, I'm moving to London sometime this year, when I find somewhere decent.
I go to London every weekend, sometimes having blow-out nights out. I travel by train. I get a taxi to work if I start at 8am, often dropping a colleague off on the way home if it's cold.
I have a gym membership, a contract phone, broadband and pay rent as do most people. I am reluctant to so much as accept a drink off a mate.
I have no overdraft or credit cards due to being a bit silly when I was 18, so I'm paying people back about £200 a month.
I earn £200 a week and smoke about 20 a day.

What credit crunch?

Um, what?
£200 a week = £800 per month, presumably pre-tax, so take off about £100 = £700.

£200 a month to creditors = £500

Cigs = £5 a day = £35 a week = £140 a month = £360.

Gym membership = approx £50 a month = £310

Phone = approx £30 a month = £280

Broadband = approx £15 a month = £265

£265 a month to pay rent, utilities and council tax, to buy food and to fund your louche lifestyle.

Hmmm. Either you're on some serious benefits on top of your salary, or you're funding your lifestyle through the sale of drugs. Or you're a big, smug liar.

Edit: According to your profile you are engaged. So presumably your man is funding this extravagant lifestyle of yours. Which is even worse, frankly.
