    They truly are the worst, arnt they? We’re still chasing our childcare subsidy that we logged last month. They dont reckon they’ll have an update till mid september. Meanwhile, we’re having to pay totally out of pocket and having to people moan about how we need more women in the workforce. How about either pay them what you pay men so dad can stay at home, or actually have universal childcare to enable more mums to go back to work!

      I know! And nine times out of ten, the people at the coalface are doing their best; it’s whoever set up the system to be as discouraging as possible for people who are seeking help plus, as StudSpud is currently experiencing, useless ‘job providers’ with their snouts in the trough taking money to do bugger all.
      I’m hoping that by the time this certificate runs out I’ll be well enough to work enough hours that I won’t have to jump through those hoops ever again. Fingers crossed…
