I wouldn't put the outgoings down to the penny so:

Rent: Ł350 (Ł80 pw)
Housekeeping Ł175 (Ł40 pw)
Haircut Ł10
Prescription for mental health meds Ł15
Pet food Ł15
Council tax Ł25
Clothing Ł30
Mobile telephone Ł20
Traveling Ł41

Do you have a repeat prescription for the meds? I know this is something the OR normally asks as it can work out cheaper.

Our OR added on opticians and dentist costs that we forgot to include.
