    the mind boggles! Well you've got to keep urself entertained through the nights in :rotfl:

    what struck me was the booze is a 3rd (roughly) of the cost of food. Have just worked out you spend more on food than I do and there are 3 adults in the house (me, oh & ds who is 18) and ours covers alcohol as well. You could trim this back abit and come in on budget next year? hths

    Interesting reading, thanks for posting

    One thing which struck me is that you say you live aloneand I can't see any expenditure for child maintainance or the like, so I'm assuming that you have no dependants.......... In which case why would you need life insurance?

    Well its life and CIC, so CIC is quite useful. As for the life cover, I got it so that the flat would be paid for and my parents would have less hassle sorting everything out, should I pop my clogs before them.
