We are re watching Peep Show which is so painfully funny.
£80 spent on groceries. I have just applied for a tutoring job working from home.
I could save £200 diesel, £160 dog sitting and £400 childcare. Not to mention 7.5 hours of travel and car repair costs.

Massive potential savings!! I dislike that it costs so much to work
When my eldest 2 were small childcare wasn't subsidised and nursery for one child cost £150 per week! Second child had a 5% discount! 
Add to that my fuel (75 mile round trip each day), work clothes (tights being my main bugbear!) and convenience food... AT one point I was working for around £50 per month - but was waiting for redundancy x I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200 -
