    Kevin

    ref breakdown :- I only paid £8 a month, i used to do 50,000 miles a year

    car repairs - all i can say i didnt spend that much

    as someone else said, the OR will expect your GF to contribute

    either that or BR could be refused as you arent insolvent with a big income and a house worth, what, £900K?

    I think you need to get some professional advice re your property etc.

    But again, im not sayign this to be an old record, but the OR WILL NOT ALLOW you expenses for - eating out/meals at work/childrens clothes, and is also VERY UNLIKELY to allow you £100 for holidays ( for the children will be included in mainenance), alike for the childrens clothes.

    The house morgage/rent will also not be that high as it would be sold for the equity, so you need to be lookign at costs it will be for a 2 bed, 3 if the kids stay over poss.

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ELSE EXPLAIN ALSO AS I DONT WANT IT TO SOUND LIKE IM BEING GRUMPY

    I think it depends where you live as to what would reasonably be expected to pay on housing. I couldn't possibly find anywhere near where I live for under £1,200 per month.

    You can get that food right down..... I have 3 children and my monthly spend on food is in the region of £160.

    The children live with me at all times.

    Mind you, this is different from normal money saving so I think they have set allowances for things but not sure how it works for partial access.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
