IA's New Life Diary!

elfen

IA, just made my trip in here. Loving the tattoo idea, I definitely need a new one (to add to the six that currently reside on my body) Also, things seem to be going well (the b/f looks a honey, and the girls are gorgeous). I love the pic of your cat, ti looks like he's thinking of jumping in the bath!

Hi again.
She was S/Employed since start of Dec 2008 to October 2009 and she was earning at least £30 ( retainer of £150+proportion of piercings ) each week....got to do her books at the weekend but there wont be a Tax liability! She paid her NI. Due date is 8 April ( two days before my Birthday!)

3 weeks of JSA in October and now in PAYE job at Nursery. Not sure of the Mat Pay sit at work, but we are not expecting anything as they took her on ( she is Qual Nursery nurse) on an 'as-needed' basis, i.e every day:D.

On that basis she definitely meets the criteria for maternity allowance She can get the form from the jobcentre and just needs a MATB1 from her midwife which is I think IIRC is given around 26 weeks? 30 weeks? something like that. Ask her midwife. Has she put herself on the housing association and council waiting lists?

Depending on what system she's on she'll jump up the list or have more points when they baby's born as she'll then be classed as higher priority.. if that's any use lol
its also worth seeing if your council run a scheme like ours too..
