Hi ladies! Has anyone purchased these online websites and had success? There was a few floating around where you pay $50 and they set up the website for you and you automatically start making an income. I don’t want to jump in if it’s all just a big scam and I also don’t want it to scam others if they get poor q...

🥹🥹Anyone work in HR please kindly help I’m in process of requesting for flexible working. I wanted to apply to work 3 days per week for one year long. However I’m worried my employer may reject it as one year is quite a long time? Or is it common practice?

Hey mums, I may sound silly but I recently received an email from EDF ( my energy provider) regarding the introduction of a fixed tariff plan from October. Could you kindly clarify what this entails? Specifically, does the fixed tariff mean that we are charged a set amount regardless of how much energy we consume, o...

When is it a good time to tell work that you’re pregnant

So back in last December I got into an accident. I’m currently pregnant again (after loss). Long story short I got a car from a shitty car dealership. Said they gave me insurance which I thought was full coverage. Dummy me I know. Was in a tight spot at the time. Now I have to pay over 1k to the lady. I have no pare...

How many days did you go back after maternity leave?

I am trying to decide when is the right time to go back to work. My son could start preschool next year, but I am not sure what the right thing to do is. My husband wants me to continue to stay home and not send my son to preschool. I also watch my nephew who is only one so if I were to go back to work it would prob...

I’m due in Feb and my contract finishes in December and I can’t see myself getting another position in the company in time before then, also I’m 6 months pregnant so who is gonna hire me lol.

Hiya, we would like to open a savings account for our little one but unsure what the best provider is. We usually bank with NatWest but the interest rate seems to be terrible on their junior savings account. Does anyone have any recommendations? If you’ve set one up also who did you go with?

Has anyone told their work yet? I'm going to need a few early scans because of my history with ectopic pregnancy and it's going to mean I need time off work. It feels too early to tell work (only 5 weeks) but I obviously need their permission to miss work for appointments. Equally if anything does unfortunately go w...

I recently had my first baby and I found out I still owe money for OSAP from 7 years ago!! This whole time my mom has been telling me she already paid it but turns out she lied. Will I still get the child tax benefit? I work 50 hours a week and paying insane rent prices this benefit would help me a lot. Thanks

Hi mamas. First of all I just want to say that I am a recovering workaholic. I have no problem with working hard or making things work. With that being said, I am struggling to find something that makes me happy. I’m 27 years old, I have an almost 7 year old son and have been a single mom for 5 of those years. I’...

Hey, I am looking into applying for child benefit but I’m confused! I live with my husband who is earning and I am currently on maternity leave, I am receiving 90% pay in the first month and then SMP. When entering in earnings, am I entering earnings before maternity leave or do I need to calculate my earnings durin...

How long have you been waiting? First time I literally got paid after about 2 weeks with this 2nd baby I’ve applied the last week in august and I applied online so hoped it would of been quicker

I’m a bit confused on what our rights are for paid time off to attend antenatal appointments. For instance - if my appointment is scheduled during a work day, does my employer need to support me attending and how is it paid? I’d like to avoid using my holiday allowance as I’d like to save that to add to maternity l...

Hi all, This is a long one but after some advice regarding maternity employment rights/laws. The company I work for was sold to another company when I was around 32 weeks pregnant (at this time I was using holiday entitlement on the official take over day). I had already put in the forms for maternity leave at 20...
