I had my first day of nannying today, which was great.I'm dreading tomorrow morning - I have a SECOND job trial after being told that I had got the job as a waitress, today the other boss basically said she didn't think I could handle it and that she didn't want to put me on because I was stuffing her around too much. Feel quite upset because I have been upfront with her right from the start about exactly when I'm available and why, and it feels like she's decided she's changed her mind about me.

Wife signing up to re-train (decided she does want to go back to work after all).

I mentioned this the other day.Standard childcare cost in London (for a qualified registered minder; nothing special) is about £12 an hour. Say you're working a 40 hour week and you spend an hour a day travelling to & from work, so 45 hours a week = childcare costs of £540 per week out of net income.
So you need to earn about £40k a year just to cover your childcare costs.
