Oh Sami I could walk in them! Shame they only go up to a size 2

Edited to add that I have just found out that heelies do come in my size though... it is a good thing that I know my limitations and don't want to go to hospital

*runs in all excited*

My friends aunty has just opened a new nursery in town, took Jack to the open day and OMG It is fantastic. A million times better than where he is now and is £37 a day (creche will be going up to £39). Have worked out that even with tax efficient scheme vs the childcare vouchers and us topping up, the new creche would make us £7 better off a month even though it's £45 cheaper.
The meals are fantastic (he had lunch while he was there), the room is fab and HUGE, the gardens are amazing and the staff are highly qualified. There are only 4 kids in the Tweenies room and 2 would share a birthday with Jack!

My head is spinning from working out finances, I just hope I've got it right!

In town ther police and fire brigade were doing an exhibition so Jack has a card with his fingerprint on and got to stroke Oscar the Mountain Resuce dog who is 12.5 stone! :eek:
I've picked up some forms about volunteering for the police as I thought I might do an hour or two a week civilian work.

We just spent £50 in matalan! :eek: And i only got Lily 1 dress in the next size up, most of it is clothes for me and DH

But we do need some new clothes, especially me, i have hardly any clothes now.

My sister is singing and dancing with Lily and she laughing and squealing loads

:j:j I sold all my ebay stuff, my wedding flowers sold for more than i bought them for and i collected my phone from repair, and they couldn't repair it so they gave me a new one instead :j

Anyone good with finances?

I've worked out mine and OH's take home pay using my tax efficient scheme and then using the Childcare vouchers for both of us.

Creche 1 - Monthly Fee £845
Creche 2 - Monthly Fee £800

Creche 1 - Combined take home pay £2,054 (tax efficient just me)
Creche 2 - Combined take home pay £2,255 (vouchers me and OH)

£120 per month CB & CTC which will go on Childcare (CTC as of Sept when J is 1)

Creche 1 - £2,054 + £120 -£0 = £2,174
Creche 2 - £2,225 + £120 - £194 = £2,181

The £0 and £194 is any outstanding fees after paying through tax efficient or vouchers, I work out that although Creche 2 is £45 cheaper per month because of the tax efficient scheme it would only be £7 cheaper.

Question is, am I right?????

WOW MFD, I just noticed even more weight loss in your sig :T

I meant to say it before but I was lurking so forgot, you are doing amazing!!!!!!

MIL has lost 4 stone but was wearing the same size bra and she looked like a right saggy bag, so I took her for a bra fitting and she had lost 8 inches off her back! :eek: And was totally wearing the wrong size anyway!

She went from a 44DD to a 36G
