    Good luck! It is inspiring to see people overpaying.

    I have a little one too, but was made redundant whilst on maternity leave so eventually decided not to go back to work whilst she is still pre-school age. Combinataion of lack of work in my field, and the fact that both mine and my partner's work involves substantive travel so the only way we could do childcare would be with a nanny. I do miss my salary, but on the plus side we are making what money we do have go a lot further than it used to.

  • Congratulations on the new arrival lilium :j:j...you are just right to enjoy him and not to worry too much about overpaying. We also had to change to a people carrier after out third so had to fit this into the budget aswell. Goodluck
