    If you're getting bored of retyping it all, try copy and pasting it. I just learnt :)

    The makesenseofcards.com website have a template you can use.

    BTW, I'm no expert, but I reckon you can increase alot of these figures. I'll leave it to the veterans;)

    Good luck!

    Sorry can't remember are you both going BR?

    If yes then does your OH have to pay for medical? If so then add £20.

    Do you have pets?

    You need to get contents insurance?

    Do you not have buildings insurance?

    Do you have mobiles? Or is that included in the phone?

    We get tax credits so OH has free prescriptions, I have 2 dogs also.
  • No contents and no buildings either, both going BR should be leaving mortgaged house soon and going to rented so will prob all change.
    Does the OR ask for proof of the insurances??

    They may ask. Also it will be as a DD on your bank account usually. But saying that in your situation you really do need to get contents insurance and get it asap. I would do it before BR. Get for your present property and then when you move change it to the new property.

    Do you have pet insurance? If not this is something else you need to look at.

    Have you sort out your bank account for after your BR?

    Not 100% but someone will correct me if I am wrong I am sure but as soon as you are BR and you have your account sorted and set up then I would get it sorted then and inform the OR that your SOA has changed since you submitted it.
