trouble ahead?

My wife and I have separate single/sole bank accounts, I get paid monthly for an account job into my bank, wifes account pays out all our bills, i keep very little in my account and her account is usually overdrawn so I withdraw cash and pay into her account, she doesnt work

trouble is if i go BR the OR/IS will see cash lump sums coming out of my account, with trade having been bad for a while will my 2nd BR get me extra attention from the OR?

i shall arrange payment now to go to her account and she can bung me instead..

anticipating BR by the end of the year

buying a car i shouldnt have has cost me too much in repairs and no more in income

Yep they'll want to go into more detail than your 1st time....means they may ask for more financial stuff further back with bank statements etc

    Best way to think about it all.....I know my 2nd time in the end I didnt care less how far they wanted to go what they wanted to do..at one stage they discussed a BRO/BRU in the end though they didnt....I just kept my head down again and rode out the non exsistant storm!(i'd convinced myself it'd be like the spanish inquisition the 2nd time)
