I just can't even bare to think of the start up cost. It was flights to and from thailand to uk every 3 months for 2 years. 1 missed flight too. Completely my fault and to ensure I arrived on that day had to pay a very high price to leave on another flight that day. The start up costs were never planned I had no idea how it would pan out but I'm pleased to have done it. Start up costs never appear in my month to month budgets and they were kind of non essential anyway as they were choices we made on things we want. The month to month costs provided previously are essentials.
