Can any kind souls on this forum, of which I know there are many, tell me if my expenditure figures below are unreasonable for a single person?
Rent - £320
Telephone - £15
Public Transport £155 <-- This has shot up!!
Food, Toiletries & Cleaning products - £230 <-- Also gone up a fair bit
Meals at Work - £20
Medical/Dental/Hair - £20
Clothing - £40
Contingencies - £40
It works out I can pay about an extra £9 a month due to a pay increase I had last September, before that pay increase I was practically living in squalor.

Hi Nighteyes, if that is your expenditure then you should definitely put it down. Your IP will advise accordingly if any extra monies need paying across. Income and Expenditure should always be a true reflection of what is spent and hopefully granted. x
Do you not have utility bills? x

Nah, it's all included in the rent. I live in a shared house. No way could I afford a place of my own.
