Hi look-divine,

Here is the list we used but you may need to add more to be sure of all your bills:

Building / Contents Insurance
Water Rates
Electricity
Gas
Life Insurance
Council Tax
Mortgage
Childcare
TV License
Mobile Phones
Telecoms including Sky & BT
Car Insurance
Car Tax
Fuel
Food & Household Goods
Breakdown recovery (car)
Vehicle Maintenance
Personal Hygeine, Haircuts, Glasses
Clothing
Contingency

Sure peeps on here will spot some I missed but everyone is different - I went through 3 months of bank statements too to see what went out in case i missed anything - your IP will be able to prompt you though so you don't miss anything - good luck! [:)]

Contingency is an allowance (quite often £50 per month) to cover the unexpected like things in the house breaking.

If you have pets do not forget to factor in pet food and insurance into your income and expenditure x

I know you put hygeine down divine but have you included prescriptions and dentist in that.

I've just had a quick look for both, but it doesn't look as though you can.

Could be wrong though.

Think you need to be out of work or working less than 16 hours and claiming income support to get free prescriptions etc...I get mine free on medical grounds, which is handy!

Thought so.

look divine, if you visit the HM Revenue and Customs site and check working tax credits, there is a form on there you can fill in to see if you are eligible and how much you are likely to get.
