    cars finance has finished but was all in dads name,ive got the last statment of account which is in his name and address. is that ok?

    we are 2 adults and one baby under 1.

    We do spend a lot on groceries specially with baby as his only bottle fed and obviously with all the nappies.
    Whats the maximum allowed down for groceries and clothing.
    anything else you thing i might juggle.

    Water rates should be £20. my mistake.

    There is (if you can be bothered to wade through the thread) a table posted by Fermi which if memory serves me right gives the cut off points for figures entered. I have to be honest though and say i can't remember exactly where it was posted.

    I would have thought the car should be ok if it's registered in his name as you don't actually own it, so on paper it's not an asset of yours.

    As for the clothing and food, i will be honest and say i don't know what the figures are if you are including a baby.

    Wouldn't your proof of WTC be sufficient for your proof of paid income also? :)

    my adviser put down £216 down for my household, which includes things like clothes toiletries nappies ect (no babies in the house ) and i live alone so i think the groceries will be fine...but you need to scrap the clothing or most of it and perhaps add it on somewhere else...my tv licence went down as £13. i would put £30 down for water,you could probably put down a little more for mobile phone if you both have one..i woulnt worry too much as your adviser will sugest things aswell...you could probably put down for home insurance...you should probably have some anyway...get some quotes...

    I've had a look 4 this & cannot find it 4 u. If any1 does manage 2 find it, could u plz post the link? I was allowed 2 put £300 4 housekeeping for 2 adults, but I think you'd have 2 cut down your clothing budget. I understand how much babies cost................but u may have 2 juggle some of you figures & offset them elsewhere :)
