We have 5 kids and are ttc #6 in april, we usually have 1 income but at the moment we dont have any, as dh is now out of work. We make things work, by getting sale items only shopping when we have to, buying in bulk etc. my eldest is a dancer and dances 4 days a week, #2 and 3 go to swimming lessons and #3 will start dance class next year, our only major cost is nappies as #4 and 5 are still in them. We have always had a tight budget but we still get to have our little treats as well.

It is manageable to have a big family and a little income.

We are even talking about having #7.
