    If my maths are correct:o you have the your expenditure as the exact amount for income. You are allowed to show a surplus of under £99. The OR may think it is odd that the two figures match exactly;) . With the changes i have suggested it now looks like you have £14 surplus.Maybe some of the others will have some suggestions. Dx
