    Hi

    You will be better posting a BR SOA on the bR sub-forum but as a starter, you will not be allowed mobiles or satellite TV but you can put mcvh nmore on phones (I think £60) and then pay them out of that.

    You might get a cheap holiday allowed (£50) per month. and more for fuels.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    £400 for groceries! :eek: Is that including things like cleaning stuff/washing powder? Even if it is it is massively high. What kind of food do you tend to buy? Can you get cheaper alternatives? Cook more from scratch?

    Everything else seems reasonable, although will the gas be coming down soon? Will you need the heating on as much now it seems like it might be getting warmer.

    Hi, just wanted to say good luck and to ask whether you are looking to reduce your outcome..or want people to check that this would be an appropriate SOA to give to bankruptcy ppl?
