Assets, quick question

Hi,
Sorry to be a pain, another quick question. On the BR forms when it states assests, I have no property,car or expensive jewelery. All I have is a bed worth about £100, and old tv worth about £100 and an Ipod again worth about £100. I live in a furnished rented flat and don't have naything else of value. Do I list these on the form?
Thanks for your help x

    Nope! you have no assets. The OR is only interested in big ticket items like brand new plasma screens and Picasso's. So nothing to list.

    Yep. They ask for anything of "value", which can be taken to mean items that would be worth paying someone to collect and then auction. That means that virtually everything in an average persons house doesn't qualify, or is exempt from being claimed anyway.
