It's no secret, having a child isn't a cheap option - a fact Channel 5 stars and parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford know all too well.
As reported by the Scottish Sun, the couple have been nosing through ways to keep their energy prices at a minimum, given the recent sharp increase in gas and electricity bills.
This has included rich luxuries, meaning that the family have decided to turn off their hot tub, after finding out how much it costs them per week.

Sue wrote on her Instagram this weekend to chat about how much the entire set-up costs - and admits both Noel and herself were shocked at the price.
Sue said: "So Noel decided to see how much the hot tub is costing us a week and I’ve got to say I’m shocked.
"He checked how much electricity we were using over 24hrs with it switched on compared to when we turned it off and it’s costing a whopping £56 a WEEK.

"Needless to say it’s turned off now till warmer weather."
She was then bombarded with messages from others who had now been warned about how expensive it was to run a hot tub, especially in the colder months.
She added: "So many of you have either turned your hot tub off after doing the same thing or are turning your hot tub off seeing my story.
"Honestly, I’m shocked, I had no idea it was that much."
Sue and Noel decided to make the purchase, as many others did, back in July 2020 as coronavirus put a halt to family holidays.
After daughter Tilly had an operation on one of her legs, the doctors had noted that the hot tub would be a good form of physical therapy for her as well.
In addition to the hot tub, the pair also installed an outdoor cinema and bar area to keep their family entertained during the pandemic.
Living in a former care home that has 10 bedrooms, they purchased the Morecambe property for just £240,000 back in 2004.
