Groceries etc. 500 - The guideline is £387 for 2 adults with no children. If you have 2 children then £500 is fine.

Clothing. 110 - The guideline is £58 for 2 adults with no children. If you have 2 children then £110 is fine.

You are going to have to be more specific with the following:

Other travel............................ 60
Other child related expenses............ 60

Medical (prescriptions, dentist etc). 78 - That's pretty high. Do you have repeat prescriptions as these can work out cheaper if you need medication on an on-going basis.

Pet insurance/vet bills.. 30 - I think pet related things (food, etc.) are a max of £21 although I am not 100% sure of this.

The rest looks fine.

The guidelines don't have a section for 2 adults/1 child for some reason but you should be entitled to somewhere in between 2 adults/0 children and 2 adults/2 children.

Food - 2 adults/0 children = £387, 2 adults/2 children = £504.

Clothing - 2 adults/0 children = £102, 2 adults/2 children = £156.

School/work meals are normally £2 per day.

Don't worry about it, I was exactly the same. From all the stress with creditors calling every 30 minutes and going through the BR process I was unable to think straight.
