  • I just had a call from the CAB..
    They were just waiting for references and things and everythings fine and just want to know when I can start to start my training! She said I can start whenever I like but I chickened out of asking her about the help with nursery.. just said I'd have a look at sorting some childcare and call her next week. :confused:

  • Just called them back... they're too small a bureau to give any help with childcare. So looks like I've got to get a weekend or an evening job to make up the 16hr for the tax credit childcare element. Hmmmmm... b*gger.

  • Right the nursery isn't a problem. Have called them and they've got space available for both girls and we would only have to pay a deposit for K which would only be £40 if she was doing 2 afternoons. Just working it out now money wise...

  • Nursery costs...

    2 full afternoons a week (1-6)

    K... £18.50 a session x 2
    = £37 a week

    Ash... £9.68 'top up' x 2 (From term after Ash's birthday)
    = £19.36 a week

    = £56.36 a week..

    £239.53 a month nursery fees
    £40 deposit (taken off first month's fees...)

    Off to look at jobs!

  • Hi Sar

    I've not been keeping up to date with your diary. Were you looking at being a childminder at one point? Is that no longer feasible?

    PS Thought you looked very slim in the pic with Ste and Martin
  • Wow Sar!
    Well done hunny!
    Would you not be entitled to more tax credits because you are working? (volunteer I know but...)
    You must be pleased x

    Fantastic news about the CAB! I hope you can manage to find a job that will fit around it. Could you increase your hours at Argos, or wouldn't that fit in?
