    I know what you mean, I left NHS benefits (v good!) for SMP only and as you can see, financially with our level of debt we'd be foolish to even think about it :eek: But like everything there is no right or wrong, only a best guess of the pros and cons, you must follow your instinct and if you have to get a job doing ann summer$ when bubs is in bed or your DH gets a bar job to cover it then so be it. We weren't in debt before we had kids but I don't regret it one bit, I still say go for it :)

    Thanks :) I'm sure it will all work out, whatever happens.

    I love FlyLady. I must get back to it properly, though I do still keep my sink clear, even if the house is in a awful state! :rotfl:

    Hi Fennmad,

    Its in the "Old Style Money Saving" Section. Here is it:-

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4341023

    You declare what your weekly or monthly grocery maximum spend will be. and then you can chat to the others about your progress.

    At the beginning of the thread there are also LOADS of fabulous frugal recipes if you are stuck for what to cook with what you have left.

    We are a family of 4 and we are surviving on a £200 monthly shop. :eek:. not too bad as long as you are nifty at home baking xx

    Good luck

    :beer:Thank you, I have subscribe to that forum to now. I think I will need another week to catch up on there too! :rotfl:
