Ver true - most couples (English and Dutch and mixed) have to both work to afford to live here.

I don't work - but if I did I think the child care is also very expensive!

And clothes and shoes are MUCH more expensive here.

I buy all my kids stuff in UK

Clarkes kids shoes are around £30 - £40, smae quality here would cost you 80-100 euros

Clothes - next quality will cost you double the price.

Holland a nice place to live as long as you go to Uk often and can buy some stuff there.
