    Hi, Okiegirl,
    I wouldn't say £40 elec and £20 gas is a lot. I pay £57 a month gas and more or less the same for electric and theres only 2 of us.
    Hubbie works nights and is bed during the day, and I work and come home at 6pm.

    What puzzles me is how come you get so much in benefits when my husband works full time and earns less than that and he is on a decent wage?

    :confused:
    Hope you get the answers you are looking for. :beer:
    I dont now what i was thinking when i put in that first amount,it should of beem £819 for benefits,i added it up wrong,maths was never my strong point!I have now amended the list,i knew i couldnt have a spare £600 per month!

    Ah I see, I thought blimey you get a lot from the benefits people.

    I can't really offer any good advice only to maybe ebay everything you don't need, and do clicks, surveys etc etc.
    Good luck xx
