dd1 does raianbows - £20 per term
violin - £70 er term

swimming - free with dh's membership

Ballet, modern and tap @£110 per term, so about £10 a week plus various other expenses for kit, competitons etc

Musical Theatre(acting,singing etc)£5 a week

Clarinet lessons at school £5 a week

Swimming £3.50 a week

Cheerleading £2 a week

So about £35 a week probably, but she does absoutely loads for that price, plus she is an only, so only one set of costs.

myy dd does taekwond which cost us 22 pound per month tsanding order and the kit they done over a free months traing fees whihc is 50 pound for her do bok and her licences so not bad at all. for 2 hours a week. she could have done judo at school for half an hour a week which would have cost us 29 per month plus kit hire. so we decided against it.

DS is quite cheap really

Beavers is £25 a term, so roughly £2.25 a week.
Athletics is £1.50 per week
Rugby is £30 for the year, so I guess about £1 per week a it does not run all year.
Total of £4.75 a week - bargain!

brownies for dd2 - £14 a term
violin at school - free
art club - £3.50 a week

dd1 flute at school - free
she's going to start orchestra, chemistry club at school but they're all free
horse-riding once a fortnight so £11 a week

SO we don't spend a lot on activities apart from the damned horse riding

3 DC.

They do scouting, karate and two play musical instruments.

They do camps with cubs/scouting, and competitions with karate, which both boost the cost somewhat.

Not sure I want to add up the costs, tbh.

They all go swimming too, but we have a family membership at a small gym/pool and that's quite reasonably priced.

Oh, and DS3 has just embarked on a six-week footie course, but that's only £12.

I forgot table tennis for DS1, but that's sporadic, depending on other activities, and DS2 may start.

They go to clubs etc at school that are free - hockey, netball and chess.

The stuff we have to pay for is as follows:

Piano lessons at school cost around £15 each per week

Tennis lessons out of school cost around £10 each per week.

Swimming lessons for DS (DD has thankfully finished her badges) at £7 per week.

Total weekly expenditure £57 excluding travel.

My son does:
Swimming - £60 a term (Sept-Dec)
Enjoy-A-Ball - £25 a month
Plus we go to softplay probably once a week - £4.50

That's it.

Not sure I want to add it up tbh !

dd (7)
Dance lessons - about £18 total
Swimming lesson - £5.50 ish
Piano lesson - about £15 a time

ds(10)
Brass lesson - £16.50
Swimming - £5.50ish

sooo that's about £75 p w

oh forgot tennis - about £5 a week for dd

Country Dancing-Free with School
Beavers-£50 a year with extras. The Panto is an extra £10 but I haven't had to pay that yet or any others plus I'm paying off the £50 between now and Christmas.
They also do swimming lessons for £1.50 and £2.20 transport but our local pool is about to shut for refurbishment so I haven't got her into that yet.

She's 7 though and I've just started work so this is the first paid activity she's ever done.
The only other before now was art club through school for a term last year.

DS1 Does Taekwondo 7 euros a week.But 25 euros a year for membership and 20 for grading.
Swimming 60 euros for 10 lessons
Golf 100 euros a month.
Plus all these have extras like outfits and clubs and balls etc.

Nothing, they don't do any EC, so it costs nada .
3 DC, age 4-almost 9yo.
Actually, DD does music, but that's in school hours, for about £55/term.... £5/week inclusive?

DS1 10yo - ice hockey £160 per year

I had just started to realise how much all this stuff was costing. She also does some speech work which is $100 per WEEK! Last one this week, thank god. Plus swimming will finish too, so costs will come down.

dd1:

guitar at school - £5 per week (but only for 15 minute lesson!!)
ice skating - £5 per week for 1/2 hour lesson
gym - £5 per week for 1 hour lesson

dd2 - no lessons as she has SN. But she does go to a Saturday morning club once a month which is free !

So £15 per week plus travel (minimal as nearby).

Good Lord artfishy-those are very expensive lessons you are paying for!

DD2

Drama (at school) £4
Cheerleading (at school) £4
Brownies £2.50

No she doesn't go to a private school. All the school clubs are run by outside agencies (none by the teachers)

DD1
Ballet,jazz, modern,tap £14
Guitar lessons £14
Total £28 per week

£78.50 in total perweek.

Wouldn't be so bad if we could actually pay weekly but they are all paid termly or half termly.

Older two also do choir with school which is free. DD also want to go back to a dance class she used to do which was £3.50. DS2 will do Beavers next year too. etc etc

Music lessons seem to be a big price bumper upper!

Yes the start of term is always a painful time shelling out for everything.

These people always see me coming [empties wallet].

Uh and £3.50 to take me dh and DS swimming. I get DLA and have a council card that gives me 50% off plus allows another adult to accompany we for free.

We live in a very deprived area with a very good council
