Few comments, but more that some of the figures seem high without knowing what they are made up of.0 -
Hi thanks again the child costs are made up of school lunches, and beavers once a week.
The prescription cost is made up of HSA to cover all dental, optical etc for family of 5 and wife's PPC
Also why would OR be interested in life cover as only pays out if either die.
cheers again0 -
i *think* that the school lunches come out of the groceries budget so don't get listed separately and not in addition0
-
Thanks, so they better swap to pack lunches I guess as this is made up of £2 a day per child. Guess it's sandwiches etc. from now on for them0

Life assurance is an asset in Bankruptcy and the policy will vest in the OR.
Options are:- keep paying and when something happens even in many years time the money goes to the OR
- Let the policy lapse and take out a new one (preferably after discharge)
- Buy the OR's interest for a one off charge of £50
