Putting it aside to pay for the uni fees (or deposit for a house). At this rate it'll let the little 'un about a months worth of a university course.

child what?

Unless it goes into a separate account and you 'ring-fence' it, surely it's just a part of your income and gets spent along with the rest - or do you like talking bollocks?

Really? What's its intended use?

School fees

We don't really spend it on gin and fags. Straight into a building society account for the little 'un.

We get benefit for two kiddies and our monthly food/nappy bill has gone up by around £400 a month so it simply goes towards that.

Oh, didn't realise - so looking back over the last month, it could have gone on any of the following:
*Ti/XTR/carbon, the wife horses, good wine, petrol for the V8, Jimmy Choo shoes, car tax for the 4x4, DVD's/CD's or possible just basic food and drink - or maybe it just subsidises my sons' school fees?
*Select whichever winds you up most.
And both been self-employed, we'll be able to 'sort' our income to make sure we still get it after the proposed changes

So what IS it to be spent on if not the family, of which the child/ren are a significant part.Posted 1 year ago # -
I spend mine on children. You have to save up for a few weeks for a good one though.
