….I currently work from home, doing around 20hrs a week (it’s piece work that I’m paid for and as they company are SO anal about the items, I work at a slower pace so it ends up more closer to 30hrs a week…only I get paid for around 20. Anyway, I struggle to get this done at the best of times as I’m a single Mum. I work when my child is at school and most evenings as soon as she’s in bed right up until I go to bed.Summer holidays are a nightmare trying to get it all done.
But, get this – I’m now starting a diploma to do from home. They reckon it’ll take around 12mths to do…but as you can imagine, I am panicking BIG time. I’m not sure there are enough hours in a day?? I just am trying to better myself, so that I can get a better paid job and hopefully not have tax credits.
Anyway, I’ve looked online but can’t find much – just wondering if anyone knows if I can still get help if I drop my hours work per week, in order to have time to do my studying? They reckon I’ll need around 10 hours a week for this :/ But if I drop below 16hrs of work a week, I won’t get working tax credits so we won’t be able to live 🙁
Please help
