Help! I’m trying to figure out how to do maternity leave in California (I can go in December) but I don’t remember my login info from when we didn’t work because of Covid. Can someone please help?!!

June mamas! I need advice. Is it possible to work from home with a 14/15 month old. I’m thinking of working from home one morning a week with my LO 8:30-12 just to save on nursery costs if I can. Is this realistic or better to put them in nursery?

Hi - what week of pregnancy is used to calculate your maternity pay?

Does anyone have a degree in either History, Archeology or Anthropology. I had previously posted and after HOURS of research last night I took down my post and decided to restart. If you have a degree in any of these areas I would LOVE to hear your experience, how long you went to school, and what you do now. I ...

Hello! I just wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas on how the Maternity Allowance payments work? I've sent off all the forms and my MATB1, etc, and they've sent a letter back with a reply form for me to fill out and post back once I've stopped working. My last working day (providing baby doesn't come before then!) ...

Has anyone got one of these? I'm trying to think of things to benefit the future but this one just seems like a gamble if I'm honest. I was thinking of possibly opening with 100, and investing 50 a month but I'm nut sure how worth it it would be. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on ISAs/savings accounts that wi...

Single Mums who stay at home, how are we making money? I’m due to go back to work in January and I will be completely honest, I don’t want to go back and it’s not looking like I will. But now finances are on my mind. I get no help from my son’s dad so it’s really me bringing in the money.

For anyone who’s self-employed, please could you give me some advice? I have just secured an offer at a company today, and I will be working self-employed and supplying them with a service. I’ll be working in their offices & recruiting workers for their business. Now, I’ve never worked self-employed before so I’m br...

I trust moms more than anyone else

(For those who are working) and are you full or part time? I'm just interested to see! I am a project coordinator in telecommunications. I will eventually be going back 3 days a week but because I have so much annual leave I'm only working once a week till Christmas 🎄 x
