My ds, now in year 2, was attending a local infant school -which was fine.
However, we saw many parents with older children having hugely complex problems with juniors, so we put ds down on waiting lists for "through" primaries as a back up.
Unexpectadly, a space came up at a good school 2 days before start of term. It was a rush decision tbh. The school It is a 20 min drive away, but I calculated we could just about afford the petrol.
However, it Seems despite me checking figures the actual reality is petrol has already exceeded my monthly calaculation is just 3 weeks.
We were already cutting it fine, but this is just beyond our budget with the reality of the spending.
I have no idea what I expect anyone to say Im just sat here wondering what the heck to do, and has anyone else been in this position?
