Brian, I'm married and have 5 kids, a mortgage, etc. etc. £306 a week is what we needed when they were all at home (mortgage, food, water, heat and electricity). We are fortunate in that we do not have to live this close to the bone these days, but I have had to do so in the past and can do without TV, Car, new clothes, evenings out, electronic games, etc. if the need should arise.
