Pop your details into entitledto andsee what it comes up with. Tax credits are a possibility.

We live on a simular wage and qualify for tax credits, that would be all you could get.
Personally I am very grateful for the tax credits as it means I can afford to be a stay at home mum for the time being (whilst cutting back and going old style to stretch the money further of course).

The weekend can bring out some odd posters on MSE.
To be honest this post does not (yet) seem to odd.

To the OP
You should be able to get a fair bit (about £50.00 a week) on tax credits .Just make sure you tell them if your earnings change as they can be strict about paying back overpayments.

It's odd not to stick around after your first post tbh, and I have to agree with ONW, there is something about this post that stands out - not sure what it is though.

Remains to be seen I guess.

All the wind up merchants come out of the woodwork. If the OP's not one then I apologise.

Hi Everyone

Apologies if I seem odd to anyone. that certainly was not my intention.

Thanks to everyone who replied and suggested that I contact tax credit.

I spoke to tax credit today (they said that I would need earn less then 17k to qualify) and they advised that I was not entitled to it and also Is there anything I can do by Wednesday.

Apologies if don't reply back straight away but I am currently juggling both family and house keeping duties. Thanks in advance to everyone who has so far assisted and may also assist.

Apologies again for sounding odd in previuos post.
