Innes says, “you can’t put a price on your dignity”
How about £30 to £330?
That’s how much it COSTS me to go out to work. What’s wrong with this picture? I thought it was a Labour government! haha. First, let me explain the workings of my financial situation…
Catty works full time(or will once her maternity ends) at Aker Kvaerner. She makes about the same amount of money as I make at the cooncil. You’d think therefor that by me working we’d be doubling our income right?
Wrong!
You see we have children, four, young, children to be precise. Well it turns out you need to provide care for them (ha! who’d have thought, eh?). This care has to happen even when you can’t provide it yourself because, say, you need to go to work at the cooncil.
Step in the childminders. Except, we have FOUR children, looking for childminding mid-school year. Four children just isn’t a workable number. Childminders have one, two or if you are really lucky three spaces available. But they aren’t cheap.
During school time alone it would cost £30-£50 MORE THAN I MAKE PER WEEK per week, just for childcare. During school holidays this would soar to almost £350 MORE THAN I MAKE PER WEEK per week. This takes into account the tax credits childcare allowance.
I am forced to resign my job when Catty goes back after her maternity leave. I mean, who pays to go to work?? It’s a sorry state indeed when you are better off not working.
WTF, he’s lucky i didn’t see him do it, the bastard. If anyone should see Patroller 53 hanging around, give him a quick knee to the nads from me please along with the warning “Don’t touch Billy’s van”, there’s a drink in it for you. ;o)
Incidentally a closer inspection of Patroller 53’s signature reveals he’s actually ‘P Wank’. Least, that’s what I see…
btk ;o)
