    I'd still put down at least £1,200 maybe more. It isn't about scrimping and cutting corners but also your cleaning products and other household things come out of this budget and you need some slack for emergencies too.

    I'm assuming the tax credits/benefits are either £20,000 *per year* or £2,000 per month.

    No, sorry :rolleyes: I meant she either meant to type £20,000 per year, or she meant to type £2,000 per month. Not that both meant the same thing LOL!

    The amount of numbers going round in my mind right now, though, my brain is fried!!
