back to work??
hey all....
im just curious as to when everyone is going back to work?
with the cost of living shooting up im now considering getting a job.....i didnt work throughout my pregnancy.
ive just applied online for 5 jobs!!
what happens with tax credits etc....as obviuosly going back to work would have to be worthwile...i.e its pointless me going out to work if all my wage will be spent on childcare etc.....is it different if you just work part time?? my wage would have to cover childcare cost (no family around to help with baby sitting) and also give us a few hundred to cancel out what we already get in tax credits....im guessing when i start working our tax credits will disappear right??
would be grateful to anyone with any knowledge of this??

I dont really understand anything about tax and benefits. Loads of people have told me you can claim lots and probably more than what i earn going back part time but i havent found any evidence of this!!!
