I'm with Henners and Knowlesy on this, I cannot justify the cost and I'm in work in a reasonable job. Money is tighter than I've known in a long time, everything is going up and I've seen our disposable income go down by a further £100 a month since Christmas. Things are still going up every month, I've just lost the £45 child tax credits we were getting, I'm still on a 10% pay cut (since 2008), I haven't had any kind of pay increase since 2009 and every month something keeps breaking in the house. To afford it I'd need to forego being able to do things with my wife and daughter or dip into savings. Not very sensible really. That's the reality in the real world I'm afraid.
