there is no cash for entertainment in there, never mind childrens' extra curriculum activities (music lessons, sports lessons, etc) however child benefit of about £40 a month (each) could go towards these...there are also a few items which could be trimmed back...e.g. gym, emergencies, holidays & satellite...

Yep, correct, so you give up on one and gain on the other, still a bit of a shock when it is all put into context.

Also, not all of us are entitled to benefits when we come over from S.A.

Don't agree with you on the holiday though, if you want to go abroad, it will cost you that at least, and going local aint cheap.

and cut back on satellite? life wouldn't be worth living without my sport!! Wink
