    Morning

    If it was me i would break down the keep to your mum as in this way you may be able to up the figures slightly.

    You dont have anything for perscriptions £10 is usually allowed Do you have any pets as that is another £20 for insurance that the OR sometimes allows.D

    im on antidepressants (have been for nearly 2 years) but in wales prescriptions are free, but i do spend £5 a month on Quioderm Acne cream as i get it bad on my face if i dont use it:o:o:(

    am i mssing something here, your income is more than your outgoings
    so you have money to spare, how can you become bankrupt.

    isnt bankruptcy when your income is less than your outgoings?

    like i say, i dont mean any offence, i just dont understand
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    They ususally allow £10 for perscriptions too.Thats looks better.ou are now only roughly £20 over the threshold for an IPA,on paper that is:D . If the OR agrees all those figures you are looking at an IPA of about £60 a mth.
