    so why not wait until the hours actually increased and you had more security? You are 25, not 40, surely a few more months wouldn't have compromised your wish for another baby. You can't blame the system for the choices you make.

    I'm not blaming anyone (well, maybe the bosses at work a bit) :)

    Its not a life or death situation here, i just wanted some advice on a few tidbits...

    Well I do think it is showing responsibility that you are questioning your ellibility to tax credits now as indeed, it is the time to do so if you don't want to get into big trouble later. However, the consequences of not being entitled is yours to take responsibility for too.
  • Yeah i understand that and will figure something out, be it becoming a supervisor at work (more guaranteed hours), going back to resit Uni, or signing up with some job agencies and working elsewhere...

    The kids will always be provided for first and foremost, regardless :)

    Working a full-time job on minimum wage, i struggle to sleep at night

    Part-time? Not according to the government. As said repeatedly, they have changed my hours recently, worked plenty this year...

    well aren't you a delight!
    Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe.

    “Don’t have children if you can’t afford them” is the “Let them eat cake” of the 21st century. It doesn’t matter how children got here, they need and deserve to be fed.
  • if you can't feed them don't breed them
  • how to you support a family on a part time job in subway ? must be a cheap stone that you live under ?

    I put money away for situations like this, last year i was working 40 hours at Subway and 20 hours at GAME, i'm financially fine for a while, there is a big staff meeting next week to discuss hours and being relocated to other stores, hopefully things are sorted...

    And i've stopped the working tax, i was just unsure what they would do, they explained over the phone that nothing i did was wrong...

    Though, none of this matters, your clearly quick to judge, i shall ring Jeremy Kyle as soon as i can scrounge up a few pence for the phone box (provided they still exist)
