Hi All,
I've recently started a new job and have moved to a new address, so the OR office has been in touch to provide an income/expenditure form.
I have posted the proposed figures below, I'd be really grateful if someone could review and comment and whether it looks acceptable or whether anything should be adjusted?
Many thanks in advance.
