It is my entertainment hub so I am not going to cut back on that although I have thought about using a laptop and one screen for general computing but I just do not want to hahaha
I am prepared to stop paying the TV Licence as I hardly ever watch live tv and could easily just watch on demand but will only do that if things get really bad next year.
This year el gov is pretty much bailing me out but if it continues to rise it could get quiet hairy next year. Still I have lived on beans on toast before so can again hahaha

I've bought a second hand laptop and hooked it up to the TV, I only use my PC for gaming now, I seem to have saved quite a bit. I used to have the PC on all the time I was in the house, even when watching iPlayer/Prime etc, now it gathers dust most of the time.
