....And another thing...I was earning approximately £1675 a month when I was still at work and DH was earning approximately £1200 at around the same time, plus child benefit £116, a combined monthly total of £2991 and we struggled to make ends meet. True, I was putting £260 a month in fuel and paying £111 a month in childcare. But we had consolidated our overdraft and credit card into a new mortgage and my old mare had passed on and I didn't replace her. Our monthly bills were less; mortgage, council tax, water rates, petrol, food, etc. Okay, we'd stopped making our own beer and wine and bought wine/beer at the off licence and ate convenience food after work. We were also trying to finish the house extension off and the kids had swimming and piano lessons but so much money must have been just wasted. Horrifying.
