    Hello B, it is so hard to do that as everyone's expenses differ so much. But as DI has said put down what you spend, as long as you have bills, receipts to back up your claim you'll be fine x

    theres no set in stone figure otherwise everybody would copy everybody else...and no 2 cases are ever the same....just put down what you pay now & see what the receiver says as others have said

    who told you this? i've known nursery costs be allowed in the past without question...usually £60 for landline & a modest ammount for mobiles as well
