If i was to look for a second job, eg, some night time or weekend bar work or something. How would it affect my IVA?

I'm just trying to think of ways to make some extra money to buy xmas presents as at the minute i've nothing spare to buy any or even join in any xmas festivities.

thanks no i've not told them yet as i only just found out today that he won't get paid for being made to finish early. he's going to register with an agency next week so hopefully if it comes to it he can get a new job. i'll still be on edge all the time with it being agency work. i remember the tim...

thanks for your replies. i'm just so worried about it. we're struggling enough as it is. with everything going up all the time. things always seem to go from bad to worse with us. the thing is his boss is not one of these you can argue with. its a small company and my hubby doesn't really want to ge...

My husband is contracted to 47 hours a week. He works in the motor trade but because nobody is buying cars there isn't much work on at the moment. so this week his boss has been sending him home early. hes supposed to finish at 6pm but has been coming home about 4pm and hes just rang to say today he...

i only work 20 mile away from home but in the morning and evening traffic it still takes an hour each way.
its a pain in the butt

big fat no is my answer. i honestly wonder how we get by and then think how will i cope with another 5 year living like this. all month i worry about not having enough money there then when we just scrape by and i'm relieved, its time to start again to worry for the next month. might sound dramatic ...

thanks david. i wondered if they were going to change the figures on that as all our bills have increased like everybody and i think our fuel was worked out before the massive hike in price so hopefully some things will be increased on our next review.

true never even thought about the travel.
thanks.

My hubby's thinking of looking for a new job as he's on rubbish wages and is treated like a mug.
If he was to earn more money each week how would it work? would our IVA just go up to take full amount of the extra income? or would we benefit from it to?

they must be doing a bulk send because we got one too. i've also sent mine to Liz.

i totally agree with you guys.

olympic torch - they made you resign for your parents being married???

i did notice on the form it says if you don't declare anything on your form and they find out later they can dismiss you.

thank you. x made me feel a bit better.

ok i'll look into it then, thanks. yeah i see what you mean about the honesty bit and can see there reasons why they do that. one of the jobs was working in the control room taking 999 calls so i suppose that would be sensitive information but the job i do now is all data protection related. i just ...

i think it just annoyed me because i really want a change in jobs and now know that i doubt i'll be able to go into the line of work i want to do because of the mess i've got into with debts from my own stupidity. [:(!]

I've just been looking at jobs on a police website. i fancy a change in jobs and wouldn't have minded some of the jobs i seen on their site. i've always fancied working in the police. after reading the application form, OMG. i don't think i'll bother. after doing a check on every single person in yo...
