I speak from experience.
It all depends on how you cut your cloth...one man's comfort zone could be anothers utter poverty

Lets not tar everyone with the same brush

As for child care...£ 40 per day per child is the cheapest...we dont qualify for the 70% funding from the goverment for childcare as many do.

Needless to say, we wont be using that service.
