child related exsp dinner money x6. ele gas on card meter0

First thing that jumps out at me, is your outgoings are more than your income! You are going to have to tweak this a bit. Haircuts are usually £10 per adult/£3 per child
You are not allowed presents or emergency fund as Tech said. Try and even it out a bit, and get it down to your income level. Others will be along to help. Sorry if this is a bit sketchy, mind blowing headache.

Haircuts are £10 per adult £5 per child. I think your gas & electricity are fine.
Your SOA is shaping up.

I think you would have to have the toughest OR ever to get an IPA out of thatHi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
Please note that any views i put forth are not those of my former employer The Insolvency Service and do not constitute professional advice, you should always seek professional advice before entering insolvency proceedings.0 -
To be fair I think with you having 8 children you will be fine so just tweak it till it fits and does not take the pee and dont have any things you should have not IE mobiles etc.
I hope I do not affend anyone and excuse my ignoriance but with the amount of benifit are you not entitled to fee school dinners?
Just tryin to be sure you dont trip urself up with something they will be aware of maybe?
