    hi sweedart1

    Not sure if you have seen this, but Richard_S compiled a list of common expenses to jog peoples memories. Certainly not all would be allowed by the OR, but it is useful all the same.

    You can find it here:

    Hi sweedart,

    Gas and electricity look low, there's nothing wrong with showing negative income in case the O.R disallows something; two sons, phew, if they're anything like our children you can't stop the little "angels" from bumping the thermostat up.

    Provision for a holiday £40-£60 / month. Provision for damage to rented property £20-£30 / month; most leases exclude damage to windown, I'll bet you have at least 3 o4 brokes a year :D
