  • Our journey's have some similarities - positive vibes to you for starting this!

    I really think it's a nightmarish task trying to save money with little ones that are in nursery/with extra childcare costs. In London, I know a fair few people spending £1,500 - £2,000 per child. I just cannot comprehend how they get through, let alone save!
    Mortgage when started:
    Jan 2013: £200,999; 2nd Jan 2018: £137,500; 2nd Jan 2019: £119,000; 2nd Jan 2020: £98,800; 22nd May 2020: £81,000; 27th July 2020: £71,500

  • Thanks for stopping by blocpartyfan :) I had a look at your diary and definitely some similarity. Popping back for a proper read in a mo.

    Childcare is just crazy money yet I often find it hard to see how some providers make a profit. My kids are in an incredible setting and its worth every penny but its taken a whole inheritance to keep them there with me not returning to work properly. Another year until DD2 qualifies for the 30 hours too.
