I have my interview with the OR on Monday. I have been 're-reading my soa and looking at others on here. The amounts I am most concerned about is the Groceries and clothing. We are a 2 adults and one child. We are also expecting a baby in September.
For groceries I put £399 and clothing £120. I thought this seemed a lot and was going to lower it to my IVA levels but stepchange thought it was perfectly suitable given my circumstances.
Just want to know other people's expenditure on this in similar situations.

National averages in the OR's Household Expenditure spreadsheet for 2 adults and 1 child are £438 for Housekeeping, including food and cleaning and and £124 for clothing.
So seems about right based on that.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
