    Oh so I don't let on that I know about this £99 surplus then....


    I wouldn't at this stage, then they can't accuse you of bumping up your I&E to keep below it.

    As your surplus is only £1 over it would seem they don't think you know about it and are trying their luck, they've taken £2 off your insurances just to get you over the threshold.

    I think it's reasonable to say you'd forgotten about school dinners & karate as it's been the summer holidays, these things go to the back of nyour mind when you haven't been budgetting for them for 6 weeks.
