    thanks. The job i'm looking at will get me about £600 home with me per month. So nearly half of what i'll earn will go on childminder, ah well it has to be done! I just have to find one i like now and who has the hours available. and oh yeah i need to get the job! wish me luck!

    We could get one a bit cheaper, but this one is local and came highly recommended. I put DS down for a place 9 months before he needed it!

    We live in West Yorks, but a friend in St Albans pays over £60 per day...:eek:
