Perhaps this artical is a good thing/evidence to send to all our IP's a review time.

I would say £15 is an under estimation, but still a good article.

definately disagree with the up by15%.I shop at Aldi and even there I have noticed a dramatic increase in my housekeeping bill what with that and petrol there isn't much contingency left anymore.

I am just so thankful at the moment that my daughter is part time at Asda whilst at Uni. We get 10% off our shopping and it really does make a big difference

hope they put the allowances up soon, with food, petrol, heating ect. cant face up to 5 years of beans and toast and walking everywhere...we could all turn into a nation of very thin people with chronic wind problems.

Try some grated cheese over the top, it's a different meal [;)]

does that create a better smelling wind? [:D]

I think we're all feeling the pinch now with fuel/utility bill and food prices, let's hope CCCS increase their budget amounts as they seem to hold the key to expenditure.

Add some worcester sauce to beans and cheese on top and then it is a lovely combo[;)]

Yes - it is definately time for a review of the guidelines operated by the majority of creditors.
