Hi Pinki.. Yes everyything matched up.. Think i'd slightly under estimated my partners wage and maybe that's the reason for the drop. It does seem drastic though :-(
Redhelen - I have one toddler at 2 and pay £42 a week for one days childcare.
i cant see where YN said she was on Child tax credits, and its perfectly plausable that she could have a child under the age of 1 even she was due again now, let alone going on maternity in august.
