I’ve been made redundant but am still covered by the maternity protection that lasts until baby is 18 months. This means since there’s a suitable alternative role my employer should have offered me if over others but they haven’t. They’ve interviewed externally for it and advertised internally and have told me I ha...

Anyone got any tips on making a little bit of extra money on the side while on maternity leave please

For those who work in hospitality when have you aimed to go on maternity leave? I’m not sure when is realistic to say I won’t be able to be on my feet for 10 hours plus a day? I want to work as close to the birth but want to be reasonable also

I've found that its usually said by the people who want to order expensive or they have money anyway!! I don't mind if we've basically had the same meal, but if I'm having a salad and water, and you get a steak and wine, no way I'm paying half the bill!!

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 ...

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...
