    How much more do kids cost than an adult? Could easily afford to feed an extra adult or two around the house. How much more is a child?

    Mortgage wouldn’t change. Electricity usage surely wouldn’t change too much as you are still heating the same house to the same temperature. Little more hot water for showers I guess. Food costs us £20 or so a week for 2 adults, so even doubling to 4 people that would be £40, probably less by benefiting more from bulk buying/cooking.

    Do agree clothing might suck, school uniforms are extortionate in the UK. Apparently the average is a few hundred, that is more than all of my clothes combined.
