the 'cash in hand 'question

What is the best thing to put here ? We have about £150 in cash - do we put this down or will it be taken from us ?

    It wont be taken from you, just put what you have. it is designed more for people in business who may have thousands on their premisis

    I just put nil....i read somewhere it makes it easier for the OR if we put that. Entirely up to you. Even if you put it down you could explain it was for living costs until you open/activate new basic account.Dx

    The C A B told us to put £10 in purse/wallet. I would definately not mention anything else because there are going to be things you need the extra for in the next few weeeks

    I put £0. Never questioned. It was close to pay day and I had around £40 anyway. I suppose they might question it if you have no income coming in soon, but it's more likely they care about bigger sums, not living expenses.
