finding food, my wife and kids like rice, what else, hmm but as a veggy my wife must spend £10 each week on just meat or fish , there is a shop that sells imported filipino food near us ,but its so dear ! so we only go once a month.
as for telephone bill, my wife only phones bakc home a couple of times a month, i just got a orange ad thru the door, internet and calls package, for £20+line rental you get free unlimited national and international calls ( to 100 countries) in the evening !!
yes its hard, my wife was lucky, within a year she managed to get a job working for the NHS working part time 5 hours a day.
but its all the little things that add up, lunch money for my step daughter, swimming lessons, school clothes, driving lessons for my wife, exam fees, etc, etc etc never mind cost of a new bb
child care. oh
