Hi

have you been into entitledto and listed your income and family situation, as if you had a child under one year old? What do you come up with?

have you spoken to your LEA and made sure that you have the paperwork to clim the dependants allowance once the child is born? This is a grant not a loan, but it is mean-tested.
If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    Quidco
    My car insurance renewal was £232 from Barclays. Via Quidco I took out a policy with Prudential for £236. Got £130 cash back = £106.

    Home insurance
    Quidco again; £105 building - cashback £120 (YES! Genuine!)
    Contents seperately, similar figures.

    Food.
    Only go out with a shopping list. Look at the reductions shelves first. Don't impulse buy. Don't be a label snob. GE Money card gives 3% cash back on food purchases.

    Car
    GE Money credit card gives 3% cash back on fuel. Asda card gives 2p per litre.
