Bankruptcy household expenses - And what you think of my SOA linked to my BKY

Hope someone could help me here, As part of our Bankruptcy I am fully aware that we will have an IPO against us for 3 years. Does anyone know what we can claim allowances for and if so how much. We are both going BKY so are goping to do a joint SOA for them. Our worries are as :

Prescriptions : OH has athsma 2x per month
Contact Lenses / Glasses
Life Insurance
Mobile (PAYG), However we also have a landline
Contingencty (ie breakdown of Household goods etc etc )
Pets (pooch and a puss)
Broadband
Gym - OH has Athsma so Doc tells him to go
Travel to work
Council Tax/TV Licence/Utilities
Holidays (contriversila... But I know you can allow for this !)
Haircuts ( have a perm.... :o )
Xmas / Birthdays etc

Im not trying to 'see how much I can bleed em for'. We just need to make sure that we have every eventuallity covered so we are not cut short and end up in the same situ as we are in now..... No money to buy anything !

Also, Last one - We have just filed for a claim for a new kitchen, Next door has polluted us with his years of dripping waterworks... The insurance has granted a new wall, kitchen etc etc... Now im woprried that it will be the tuime of BKY when it all happens. Will the OR not take this into account ie: what if the insurers pay me directly so I pay the builders etc etc.

Thanks guys.

Mike

    Don't know much about bankrupcy, but do know that GPs can pescribe the gym, so you'd literally take vouchers down and pay some tiny amount, (sure my friend only had to pay £1 a session at the local gym as a result. Is this still the case, if so maybe explaining to your GP your financial situation?
