  • hi

    Not put down nothing for food or clothing, as my partner pays for these from her Child tax credits and Child benifit.I do help and pay towards house too, but not an amount i can swear by as it varies.So even though i have 142 left reality is i dont.

    Also i didnt know cost of repayments so put it roughtly but as pointed out this doesnt matter.

    I put a basic wage. I work OT sometimes but it is not a guarentee

    any thoughts would be appreciated

    thank you

    Ok, you need to add your partners contributon, you need to put down the FULL amount of ALL household expenditure (rent, food ges, council tax etc) and you need to remove all credit repayments
