Online BR forms?

Hi there I've been filling in the online forms for BR. The SOA however doesn't have spaces for me to put down things like Hairdressers, holidays, etc. When I look at peoples SOA's on here there is a long list of things but the one on line only lists certain things.
Will I need to print out an SOA on seperate paper listing everything?
Thanks again guys
Love Helen x

    Not sure, it was all offline when i did my BR so someone should be around to help. Is there a bit for "other"? If so, add all the other bits up and put it there. If not maybe you need to do another part and print this off.

    Hello again nickc25 here is the section in question from the site:-

    How much do you spend each month on the following: Mortgage payments or rent on your home £
    Housekeeping (including food and cleaning) £
    Gas, electricity, other heating £
    Water £
    Telephone charges £
    Travelling to and from work and other essential journeys £
    Clothing £
    Maintenance payments and fines £
    Council tax £
    Other essential payments (e.g. life/household insurance, car tax & repairs) £
    If there are other essential payments, provide detailsof these payments


    Hope that sheds some light. Next to the £ signs there are simple boxes and just a larger box by the last one, so will I have to list all the extras there?

    You need to total them up and put the figure of what's remaining next to "other essential payments". Then in the box below it, you break it down so eg if hairdressers is £10 and car tax is £10, you'd put £20 in the "other essential payments" box and then list hairdressers £10 and car tax £10 in the details box.

    Looks like we missed out on extra money, not that we have any as we only filled in the boxes that asked for information.

    Just a heads up, our Court did not "like" the online forms and we had to spend some time with the clerk making some minor changes to the forms (so that the judge would not reject it).

    Nice thing about that was they did the photocopying for us *FREE*

    What changes were made Mister-D? I am guessing they filled in the card types (mine didn't print them) but what else did they change?
