Hi all
I have put together this SPA although in "real life" I se4m to break even.
I don't think I havr missed anything glaringly obvious. I would be really grateful for any advice on where costs may be considered too high or too low and whether an IPA is likely.
Thanks in advance.

    School uniforms are easily £20 per month for one child, probably even more. I have 3 school age and it costs me £600 plus every year and additional items that need replaced during the school term. I'd up holiday fund though. £120 per year for a holiday doesn't even get a caravan for a weekend

    Thanks for this. Yes I added everything up and definitely spend £240 a yr on school uniform shoes PE kit etc.
    Holidays-I put £10 as other sources have suggested that once bankrupt the likelihood of the OR letting you have £30 towards holidays is slim. I suppose I saw it as a token payment towards days out as opposed to actually going somewhere for a break? Is the OR likely to let me save £30 a month for a holiday?

    OR will definitely allow £10 towards a holiday for a single person, possibly even £20 a month. A family surely much more? No harm in asking for it and seeing what they say.
