It is highly concerning and can't continue rising at such a rapid rate. I don't know how people in cities survive.
Same! I'm holding out for the 30 hours I think it'll make such a difference, we are moving from full time nursery to a pre school then and even with the after school clubs our bills are going to much less than the 1k we pay now!
It’s just disheartening isn’t it. I want to do lots of fun memories with the kids and big days out but for a family of four to even go to safari park or soft plays is so much money every week! Our nursery fees are going up next month also. I know the kids are happy but can’t help feeling we are missing out 😭
Can you get any annual passes? It’s a dear do upfront but we have some and it makes for easy days out. Also some you can get through Tesco club card points if you shop there.
10k a month?! Is that a typo 🫣
@Amy whoops sorry was meant to say 1k a month, roughly 500 each 🤣🤣
@Cal this is a good point, actually haven’t thought about this. I’ll definitely have a look!
Merlin have just brought out a Parent & Toddler pass too. They emailed me about it yesterday. (Have an affiliate link I need to get on my website if you’re interested) Think it was £59? We’ve got ones for a zoo & wetland reserve too.
Prices are crazy. Our food bill has almost doubled! We used to have £300 a month for “fun” but now we don’t and my clothes are literally falling apart. Keep debating a second job but then I actually want to see my child and husband too… 🤷🏻♀️
