i'm a single parent and the parent of a reception child, so she's just started school this year.

The expenses for school (so far) were a surprise to me (more than i had anticipated), so i'm trying to plan for this time next year, so i'll be better prepared next year.

I have this idea in my head, that if i save the annual Family Supplement, and only spend it on the next year's school expenses, this will help.

Am i realistic in thinking this way, or do most mums start off thinking this, and end up using the Family Supplement for other things (at the time).

just curious. thanks for reading.
