I have not regularly sent any money since i returned to UK

    thanks for any advice
    Sorry dashing about today so not had time to remeber what section 5 is.

    If i remeber correctly for my wife it had a section to write any more to write.

    Which basically said please refer to my wifes cover letter.

    She wrote a cover letter with my help, which described why she should have the visa (basically like the sponsors cover letter) that it would be easier for you to be together in the UK due to your commitments in the UK. His family would be ok with out him what skills he would have if he decided to work although you could support him so he did not need recourse to public funds.

    For my wife i talked about her English skills how she had taken a course, that she with the help of me had done research on the area she was to live in with me and there was plenty of places where work might be avaiable.

    Some people add more there others dont i belive..
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    I too, have difficulty in recalling what was asked in Section 5. But with my friend, that the points he's mentioned are very worthwhile including. Oh ... and I seem to remember that you and your husband have an 8-year-old daughter! In which case, I'd be inclined to make it clear that ... 'you [as a caring mother] feel it would most definitely be in your child's best interests if she were given the opportunity to live as part of a complete family - i.e., with BOTH parents - in the UK, where YOU are already settled and financially secure jobwise'.

    Good Luck with your application.
