    You're right. I hated the thought of BR originally and would have sold everything in my house to avoid it but realise I can definitely say that we have tried our best to fix it. Need to think of our future now and as you say start again, the right way.

    Okay, I haven't put my unsecured debts as we are currently tied up with the iva. We pay £480 combined and the debt is around £43000.

    One nagging thing I have is that my husbands wages change month on month and are hard to work out, I think this is why we struggled with the IVA.

    For now I have put his basic wages in and will inform you that it can be £100 - £120 more a month due to enhanced rates for weekends and evenings.

    Agree with JCS. You could up your groceries to £450/475.

    Obviously you will find your self in a negative situation but if as you say you have extra coming in a month then it shouldn't matter to much.

    Make a note at the back that he has fluctuating wages. The OR will most likely average the wage out from over the last 3-6 months wage slips and use that figure as a monthly income. If you would like to do that you can.
