Latest SOA

Hi Everyone

I would be grateful if you could look at my soa and comment. I understand that there are a few that are a bit high but am hoping that this will give the or the opportunity to cut amounts etc. Although they are actually what I pay. I also understand that the HP for my car will have to come out of my surplus if they allow it.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Do you live with your parents? Your rent seems quite reasonable if all your bills are also included. Maybe you could put something on there to contribute to the utilities? Everything else seems okay to me.
