    How much a year? Shocking. It wouldn't take much to reduce that.

    Yep! And that's a £90/week saving on what they've been spending :eek:

    The annual saving is the equivalent to her salary, so covers the loss of her job - and presumably if she's home they'll also save on child-care for the twins :confused:
