By 45p a week. What will you be spending your extra 45p on?

Beer and fags

I was going to say a Freddo but they're more expensive than 45p now, aren't they?

Eyelash extensions, false tan and nails.

Maybe drugs.

A widescreen TV.

I was going to say a luxury holiday and new car but I bought these with the £14 child mainetenance I got last year.

Maybe put the 45p per week (£23.40 per year) to the Council Tax that is going up by around £90 per year ...

Or perhaps it will help offset the increase in my energy bills, knocking a huge £1.80 off my £98 monthly increase.

It's just a world of exciting possibilities

Is it gold plated???

Is it 45p per child, or is it like 30p for the second child?

MugsyBalonz · 06/03/2025 20:12

A 50" TV and possibly a BBL.

Freddos are too expensive.

I'll treat the kids to an apple they'll have to share though!

It’s definitely less for the second child, not sure how much though

Well it looks good in the papers eh?
So we can all sit back and feel smug about them cutting funds for the disabled.
