Need some advice 😊
I work 12 hours a week at tescos and my partner works Monday to Thursday 9 till half 4 so about 30 hours a week as a ground worker (all different things at a mansion ie- gardening, building, decorating so on..)
We are searching for a place to live now as it's 15 weeks till due date and I was wondering what help would we get?
I'm so lost and pretty worried about trying to find somewhere we can afford 😲
Any advice? Ideally wanting to go down the rent route not council! 🏡
Housing benefit work on income, so depending on income you may be entitled to a rent top up. You can have that paid into your account so the landlord doesn't need to know you are receiving a top up. Also once baby is born you will be entitled to child benefit and again income based you may be entitled to child tax credit and/or working tax credit. My hubby works 30 odd hours and I was working part time (having two kids already) and we were entitled to CB and CTC obvs we own our home so wouldn't be entitled to housing etc. you can go on the GOV website and in search engine type benefit calculator and it should take you to the right place you can fill in these questions free and it gives you a guide of what you could be entitled to. I've done it many time a on loads of different scenarios and they won't contact you you don't have to fill out names etc
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
ah I see thank you so much clears my head a bit :) @jumpingjellybeans :) x
