You are allowed a holiday allowance, this would cover you and any dependents. You could claim £20 for you and £10 per child who relies on your income

Are you sure that £13 is going to cover school trips and after school clubs? perhaps go for £20.

Groceries/housekeeping is fine, but you could probably go a little higher.

Your contents insurance is pretty high, that may suggest you've got a lot of valuable items to insure with such a high policy.

Thank you egrescrimp for your quick response. I will include a holiday allowance and increase the £13 to £20.

In relation to my groceries, what would be an acceptable amount?

I'm not sure about my contents insurance - perhaps i've over insured myself. I have absolutely nothing of value.:rotfl:

Thanks again.

With regards to contents insurance, I pay £10 a month. How much does your insurance cover?

You could maybe get away with adding another £20 to £30 for groceries within the reasonable guidelines.

Thank you. I'll have a look at my contents insurance.

I agree that you may have a problem with the mobile phone bills, I think £25 per month for your daughter will be the max you will be allowed

Hi Wicked.

Mobile phone 1 might be an issue as its quite an expense. Especially as your picking up the bill for a 3rd party (Your Daughter). As said, this might need to be looked at.

Yes i thought paying for 2 mobile phones might be an issue. Its an Iphone so thats why its so expensive. She starts work in July she'll have to start making a contribution towards it so I can reduce it on the SOA (is that acceptable)?

I'll have another jiggle around where you have suggested.

Thank you very much.

when your daughter starts work she will be expected to contribute to the household. You will then have redo your SOA.

my home insurance is £23 a month just for contents for a 3 bedroom semi detached, after weeks of hunting I didn't find anything cheaper this was before I become BR so BR wasn't an issue
