Strangely enough, contrary to what we were expecting we've found that life with a newborn (so far) is actually way cheaper than life as DINKYs. I guess that says something about our social lives before we had our baby. We used to eat out every week, go clubbing at the weekends, drink with colleagues after work but now we're not doing that anymore we're prepared to splash out on the rare occasions we actually get to do anything together. It reminds of the life we used to have - I think that's important once in a while! Don't get me wrong, having a child is the most wonderful thing in the world but it's hard work and the lifestyle change can be tricky to adjust to.

We went to beauberry house a few years ago when it was weird japanese italian fusion. Horrible decor and strange food.
