    So I could include the cable bill in my BR. Its actually more expensive than my electricity. TV, Internet and Phone - £95

    You can include your cable bill in your BR. I don't know your full financial situation but you'd want to be making sure you have enough money for life after BR so you may want to start keeping some money aside. You also don't want to appear favouring one creditor over another - I had a cut off date where I pretty much stopped all payments to everyone.

    I can and should continue paying insurances etc.... Keep payments up on all the things I intend to include in my SOA?

    Should keep up payments and things you want to keep. I kept paying the insurance etc. I didn't include utilities in my bankruptcy as I was up to date with them. I did include TalkTalk in my bankruptcy as I had a dispute with them over billing (they kept telling me I wasn't their customer and then gave me a £500 bill out of the blue).
