I have 2 kids aged 2 and 1, we pay ?850 per month at a childminders, we get about 150 quid of that paid for by Gordon Brown!!!

If you can get childcare vouchers- do so

 

Used to pay ?30+ per day.

When the little 'un left, we got a breakdown of costs since he'd been there: over ?11,000!

That's a lot of season tickets....

 

In fairness though, good nursery.

Both ours were in since they were pups, and at ?30 a day average it mounts up over the years. If you can, try and get a relative to help out once or twice a week as well.

 

If they can, get them on Mondays because thats when the bank holidays are and you still have to pay for them. If you do Wed-Fri then you miss them which saves a couple of hundred a year.

 

Gordon Brown pays for one session a week when they are 4 which is worth about threpance.

 

There is also a tax break on your earnings based on what you pay but I cant rememebr how it works. Ring the Revenue and they'll tell you.

aye, the whole thing is a load of bollocks.

 

if they werent so fookin expensive then our taxes wouldnt need to subsidise it.

 

the missus has worked for 3 nurserys before we had little un and they pay absolute pittance yet charge a fortune.

 

fookin goldmine that business if you get it 'right'.

were having a baby, but planning in plenty of advance to weather its worth the missus going back full time or part time..

 

after checking online.. if she returns to work full time were get 100 quid more off the government, but have to pay full week of childcare costs.. so shes going to hopefully work part time.. (3 days and then get another job on evenings to make ends meet) and get hopefully get one of family to look after kiddie during the week with as little nursery as possibly..

 

Its a killer as we both work full time.. but as most on here will know.. you get screwed with renting, you get screwed with car insurance ( My cars 80 quid a month, hers is 75 )... petrol car tax gas and leccy going through the roof..

 

sorry grumble over

If you cannot afford to have kids dont have them, other wise everybody else has to pay for your shag fo 16yrs.

wish everyone though like that though, theres a saying that " you can never afford to have kids". end of day im not arsed if i have to work round the clokc to support them.. i already work a 65 hour week..

 

thanks for your feedback anyway guys its muchly appriciated !!

Magoo in speaking sense shocker! :D

Have them, be happy about it, pay for whatever you need to. Or don't have them, it's a choice & not a neccessity.

 

I was talking about cars there, but I suppose the same can apply to children too.

correct.

A lot of wimmin can make up some pin money by doing a bit on ebay, home telesales, making jams and jellies, and piping the neighbours off for a fiver.

Topless ironing on the interweb & soiled knicker sales. Always a good filler between wage dates. :good:
