To spend £60 on an after school activity when we're a bit tight?

[BigFatLegsInWoolyTIghts]

DD aged 8 has come home from school with info for a science based after school thing. 8 sessions over 8 weeks for about 60 pounds.

she never, ever shows interest in any after school clubs...I've tried to encourage her but she's not ever interested.

This one, she came home begging "Can I do it?? Can I?"

I want to say yes and just pay...for the simple reason that she's passionate about it and because science and girls are an important issue...I want to encourage such an interest.

DH says to me "It's too expensive right now."

BUt I feel we should just cough up. AIBU to insist? We could cut back a bit on other things.

go for it.
her curent happiness and her future verus channels on sky? no brainer

Happy DD vs Sky's profits that's not a very difficult choice.
You'll probably find you never bother renewing the channels and end up in credit.
