    Thanks

    I've made some comments above. Regarding internet, it may not be allowed if it isn't necessary for work/study. You could lower your g/f's contribution by that amount and take it off SOA. Clothing allowance is for you only so not sure if £60 is too much. Medical might be £25 but leave as £30 unless other people comment.

    How much if your girlfriend's total income? You may be able to decrease her contribution.

    Internet - I kind argue keeps me up todate with industry (work in mortgages)...what you reckon?

    Contribution yes happy to lower but will they not expect this to be 50/50? Her employed income is approx £800 net per month plus does a bit of self employment (but do I need to mention this).

    Think I could get away with higher clothing allowance...work in an office so need suit etc?

    Because her income is less than yours she wouldn't be expected to pay exactly half. Decrease it to £550 (that leaves her £250 per month for her own personal expenses which doesn't seem unreasonable to me - see what others think) but definitely you won't get away with presents, emergency fund etc.

    She has a car loan (her car loan) which is £120 at month based on this can I reduce her commitment more?

    I just saw another thread of yours with IPA and SOA etc. Its easier to keep these things to one thread, because you posted this revised SOA I haven't seen anyone else's comments on any of your previous ones.

    I wouldn't reduce it below £550.

    I agree we have 2 kids and presents not allowed & emergency fund.

    Internet £10 up the land line to £50 - 60

    Do you have any professional fees?

    I would not mention self employ bit ( does she declare it? OK THEN)

    Clothing you might get away with but what about dry cleaners? £15

    Is contents ins new for old? it will go up when you tell them u have gon BR so £18-20

    I would lower g/freinds contribution but not sure to what? others will help wioth this

    so now your saying its not what you listed on the SOA?? you will have to be 100% certain with the figures if the OR thinks your OH isnt paying her way they'll come down hard as well as if they thing your being a little "creative" with your figures

    I cant keep track of all these threads....:rolleyes:
