Expenditure

I put this on yesterday,but thought id add a new thread with my expenditure that payplan has sent me:

Mortgage
council tax
buildings/contents ins
elec/gas
water
tv licence
telephone
road tax/mot
car insurance
petrol
maintenance
breakdown cover
food
clothing/footwear
dentist/prescriptions/glasses
pets
hairdressing

anything else i should include or they forgot?

Obviously i forgot to add on my public transport, so will.

Do i take out mortgage protection or life insurance?

Someone suggestion yesterday, cover for heating, plumbing and electrics.

I do not have children, so no allowances needed for that.

I put down my mobile costs, well 2, partner and i, where prepaid, so £20 a mth, but payplan took that off, so i guess they see that as a luxury item.

Would internet be considered luxury item, do i add it on and see if they take it off?

Anything else i should think of adding on?

  • That looks pretty good to me, apart from maybe something towards toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, shaving stuff, soap, shower/bath stuff and deoderants etc) and household cleaning materials (washing powder, washing up liquid, etc)?
