    Hi TGL

    I`ll warn you I`m hopeless at SOA`s....at least my comments will bump up your thread.

    I`d add something in mobile £ 20 ? (3 kids you need contact)
    Net/ Sat services £ 15/ £20....homework necessity?
    Holiday £ 20 again...3 children need a holiday.

    Hopefully others will add more help.

    Take care, Angiexx
  • Dear Goodlife
    I have three children also and we put down £650 for food, clothes £155,
    and holiday £80. And nothing was questioned
    Have been advised from previous posts hair cuts - £10 per adult, £5 per child, put mobiles and telephone together at £60 and increase car maintenance to £20.
    That would take you over your income however- so upto you to juggle it about.
    Hope that helps
  • Thanks both, I might giggle it a bit ,my boys eat me out of house and home!

    I have upped a few things as there has been talk that the OR can now include certain benefits as countable income......so better safe than sorry and there was room for increases;)
