    surplus of £135 ,so an IPA in the region of £70

    This i by no means perfect(my maths is not that good) but you should get some idea of what/how it works.

    Phew anything else you have forgotton to mention;) :rotfl: :rotfl: D

    We done D :D

    So now yellow, the aim is to get the £135 surplus down to below £99, you don't have anything down for school dinners, any clubs/lessons the children have i.e. swimming/dancing - 1 each, breakdown insurance. It all adds up!
