So confused on what to do! Go back to work full time, hours between 39-50 a week and just pay the nursery fees -about a grand a month.. 50 a day😳 or go back 30 hours and still have the nursery fees, won't be much better off because I'll have less wages anyway.. Or just leave work all together until he is old enough for council nursery and just struggle by? This is why I should claim child maintenance but at the same time I want to tell my son I did it all alone without any help what so ever! So stuck 😩
we earn less than 27k because I'm only working 16 hours a week. do to both gave to work full time @tg123456789 ?
working tax uve to earn under 27k and work full time. i used to get it before meeting someone. xx @beccastirlingx
we only get child tax too but maybe that's coz we both work and earn too much. I don't know. can't you look for another part time job? it's definitely worth doing lol xx
u should be able to get both? i cant understand why u wouldnt be able to. but yeah ull manage easy. not sure on overnight stays though :( @beccastirlingx x
@tuftyturtle, oh wow. That's mad! Thank you! My employer can't offer me any less than 30 hours a week so ill just have to go for that! X
@tg123456789, aw really? If I went back full time I wouldn't be entitled to working tax, only child tax. I'll need to really look into it! Only thing about my job as well is it involves sleep overs 😳 x
tax credits pay 70% of nursery fees. if i was you I would take a part time job. Most of your nursery fees are covered and you will still have enough money not to struggle as well as time with jayce. if you work just enough hours that you don't have to pay tax, your wage won't be much different to full time. if I work 3 days a week my wage is £100 less than if I work 5....because I don't have to pay any tax. once I start working more than 3 days a week I start losing most of it to tax.
yeah both work full time earning under 27k it is. @tuftyturtle
if u ring @beccastirlingx the hm revenue and say uve just had baby and want to know what u can get giving them the info on the hours ur going back ect they will be able to tell u over the phone. my mate works there and he says they have ppl rinign all time and can tell then what they would get (more of single) but its valid for 5 days so gives u an idea then of what u can afford to do. xx
