Honestly, I think you should hang on til Monday before committing any figures to paper, just so you get a range of opinions from more experienced members. We put £400 housekeeping down for two adults, one child when we did this in June, but it may be possible that you will be allowed more given the rising food prices. Your clothing figure also looks high to me, despite your height issues. Again, others may disagree. But it is perfectly possible to roll cigarettes using a machine while laughing. We gave up Sky+ and miss it, but watch a lot less tv these days which is maybe no bad thing. The only downside is our kid now watches Tracey Beaker instead of Spongebob...

More experienced members :mad:
I've been BR for over 12 twelve months, discharged for well over 6 months. I've posted many useful posts on the BR board.
I've done countless I & Es and not been critised for any yet. I have the offical figures that the OR uses yet you don't consider me an experienced member:mad: Lets wait for 'more experienced users' ....who would you like to answer the Ops question then Lilly? anyone in particular? :mad:
f**k this...The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter

I am a BANKRUPT and I have you lot to thank for the support.. lets not fight please.. people here need help. lets just try to give it.. and I am not experienced other than in IVAs .. and my own court case, how I would never have been there without this site.. and how I am now DEBT free and happy...Some Days are Diamonds Some Days are Stones,Sometimes the hard times won't leave meBSC 162:beer:Banktupt 22 Oct 2008 at 10am!0 -
Just to make this absoutely clear, it was NOT a criticism of your input BLTN, from which I, and countless others, have benefited.0

oooo in didnt see all this when posted my reply....i think lily was reffuring to herself hun......and any input is valuable to me... theres nothing as valuable as experiance is there. and i agree with RL, we aint here to fight..... support, help, and advise is the name of the game ....but hey im just a newbie trying to come to terms with my situation.
im really greatful to anyone who even bothers to reply to my predicament.

BLTN! Come back! That was *not* a dig. I phrased it clumsily, but surely not clumsily enough for the bright red anti-smilies to come out, eh?0

OK, ems, sorry about this. I was referring to my own lack of experience, not anyone else's. But if you're not due in court on Monday, let's hope BLTN and a few other stalwarts can look at your SOA in detail before you commit to any figures. As I said before, £400-£450 looks about right to me. However, I've only been on here for a few months and have only been BR since June and other people may disagree and it is always really, really worthwhile getting a range of opinions. As it stands, you have a figure for £500 hk including cigarettes. So now you know that cigarettes won't be allowed, perhaps you could post a revised figure for housekeeping so people can have a look at it over the weekend?
Love and peace everyone.
