Hi
every pound counts so I would raise it to £40 and I'm not up with the new road tax charges but can you really get 12 months tax on your car for £144 a year? (12 X £12).
Mine's £200, I pay 6 monthly, and its a middle of the range engine size pre 2001 so not subject to the new arrangements.
Pet food // Pet insurance // raise the holiday from £60 to £65??? As I say, every penny counts!!!

Thanks John, I'll do that! We've got £390 for housekeeping (me, ian and little one who's 2). Is that ok?
And finally what about union fees?

Hi CG
£390 is fine and I would definately try the union fees.
Also, do you have contents insurance?
You could always take this out if you haven't already (then cancel in a few months)

Yeah, we do have contents insurance-already included.
Hmmm...not sure I can think of much more to include! We've got dentist, optician and prescriptions etc...
Petrol's high at £367-hope that's allowed. Then we have another £57 for my travel as I don't drive or have a car, so I get the bus.
Think we may have exhausted all possibilities... |

Hi again,
It's down to £70 but I'm SURE the OR will disallow things just to get to the magic £99...

Good luck CG
You will be fine. Getting the I&E right is a nightmare.
Take care

Yeah, 'fraid so...
Although I'm not 100% sure on what mine will be till I get paid on 20th Sept cos I go back to work on Mon part time (previously been full time), but I think if anything I may get £20 or so MORE than I've accounted for! Grrr...
I had forgotten to put my union subs on and so DI's down to £50 now.
Hmmm... Takes some thinking about!
