Since becoming a SAHM, I started up a small business in my hometown. So far I feel like it’s going okay, but are there any SAHM, who also started a business from home, that have any advice when it comes to growing your business? Or even promoting it to gain more customers/ attention?

Has anyone else had a letter about paying some back if you earn a certain amount a year? My husband does earn over the amount it states but bloody hell im so worried what we got to pay back, what’s the point in giving us a payment a month if we got to pay it back 🥲 so worried now.

I wonder if this has been the case for anyone else and how I might go about calculating what they will be? Just trying to do some budget planning (due April 18, will get 19 we...

Has anyone successfully negotiated a better maternity leave package? I’m grateful that there is EMP available (6 weeks at 90%, further 24 weeks topped up to 50%) but I still feel this could be better.

Hi, My last working day is this Wednesday, as I will be taking some annual leave before my actual maternity leave which officially commences on the 11th November. What date would I need to put on the form to start my claim? Would it be Wednesday or my actual start date? Thank you in advance.
