Second baby on way, what will benefits be?
Comments

It depends which company you're working for, but there are jobs with flexi-time available. At councils, for example, a full time job is 37.5 hours, with a normal start time of say, 8.30am, but you can start at 10am, and finish at 5.30pm, if you work over lunch. This means you can start work after dropping children off at school and daycare.
Even some small companies offer flexi-time too - generally speaking, as long as it's not an essential part of your job to be calling up clients at 9am, a lot of companies will let you come in late after doing the school run, and finish late to make up your hours.
Full time is obviously a bit tricky, but if you hunt around, a part time job with flexi-time might be possible.
I don't know much about jobs that match your qualifications, but as long as you can promise to ensure your childcare needs won't affect the quality of your work, most employers are willing to negociate working hours

you really should be claiming maintanance from your new babies father once the baby is born. His payments to you will reduce the amount you need to claim on benefits. If you dont claim from him first then I am affraid it would be benefit fraud and highly unethical.
Good luck with teh baby !0 -

you said before it was edited:
"In the summer you can earn anything up to £200 for one days work and best of all it's all cash in hand
"
People tend to assume that cash in hand jobs are one where you pocket the money without declaring tax etc on it. The winky man kinda backs this implication up IMO. If you'd worded it as being paid cash but having to submit a tax return later, it would have sounded better and less dodgy.0 -

editing would've been clever had I not quoted you in the original post!
clearly the winking smilie gives arise to clever accounting then? I missed that haveing read and so obviously misread your post as earn £200 a day and declare it :rotfl: :rotfl:
silly of me? or silly of you?
:rolleyes:
:rolleyes:
btw taxpayers don't begrudge short term benefit claiments, single parents or even *spit* students but fraud is fraud however you squirm to remove yourself from the insinuated post.0 -
