Soa?

Hi,

I'm just about to try and put an SOA together, I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me some ideas as to what I put in it besides my rent, c.tax, and stuff like that. And what are acceptable amounts? Blimey! my head's everywhere! :)

    Haircuts £10 per adult £3 per child
    Tv licence-exact
    Pet insur £20 (most all,some don't)
    House ins £20
    dentist £10 per adult
    opticians£10 per adult
    perscriptions £10 per adult
    Dry cleaning £10
    internet-if you can prove you need it for work
    Clothes £40 per adult
    Holidays £80 a mth for a family of 4(some do and some dont allow this)

    Bear in mind these are all rough guidelines and all OR's do not appear to work to the same rules. Causes a lot of unhappy people but there is not a lot you can do except dissagree and see if they will bend!D
