    cant believe these figures myself, keep thinking must have missed something drastic but i cant see what. i know i pay £100 a month for son driving lesson as he at college training to be mechanic but that classed as luxury but with even that taken out looks like on paper that i am doing really well. maybe i should just start paying bills as normal and see how i get on. perhaps i did not realise how much the benefits were adding up to once they had starting arriving. maybe as inland revenue not on my back for moment but am sure they will once they see this new budget. but maybe i should contact the other creditors and find out if perhaps i could get a consolidated loan or longer to pay at a slightly higher interest rate. i feel a complete fraud even being on here compared to others SOA i am truly sorry to have wasted peoples time. i wish you all well and thank you for your support, you truly are a great group of people and hope the regulars who answered me dont feel too much like i have wasted their time
  • home alone dont be silly!
    wouldnt be the same without u x x
    the figures have not shown up on your post so try it again if you do not have the money it isnt there simple as that
    ammend the bits we said to either by removing you payment from the benefit or showing it as a negative remove your sons dla and let us look at it again
    one more thing are the incomings right at 962
    and the other income after tax is that right too?

    come on hunny !

    Hi

    If you go back to your previous post and hit the edit button, you can add the figures here, although it will not do all the calculations for you.

    Or try the SOA calculator again.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    HA,
    They can't turn you down. You don't need to go back to them for permission to go BR. Just do it yourself.
