15 free hours application when reconfirming…help!

I know there’s a million questions on this but I can’t seem to find what I need and I’m hoping someone will have already done it!
I currently claim the tax free childcare and my window to reconfirm opened two days ago so I’m just about to do this now but I can’t see anywhere on the re confirmation to apply for the 15 free hours although everywhere said do it when I reconfirm! Has anyone applied yet and can advise what I need to do? I don’t want to do it wrong!

From what I’ve read, I think just reconfirming is applying. Your details will indicate if you qualify. But hopefully there’s some one who has done this that can confirm x

I just did it! Literally just reconfirmed my details as I normally would on the tax free site and within seconds I had a secure message to say we were eligible with her code. Much easier than I thought it was going to be!

So do I wait for an email or do I request it from somewhere?

when you log in you can see the dates that you have to reconfirm between, so once you’re in those dates you can do it. You can’t get the code before your reconfirmation date x

I’ve done it and sent the code off to the nursery well my mum did it for me took ages

although worth noting this is only if you already have a tax free childcare account. If you don’t have an account you have to create one and I’m not sure how that works unfortunately!

Does anyone know if you get tax free childcare as well as the 15 hours or do the 15 hours replace the tax free support? X

I think I did it, but havent had the code sent to me. It did say it could take 10 days 🤷‍♀️

you can get both as far as I am aware

have you had any secure messages in your inbox? Mine just came at the same time as the confirmation of my tax free childcare

Avatar

Yes I have had a secure message but no code yet

weird! Like you say, I guess it might take a few days. I would say try and get in touch with someone if you haven’t had anything in ten days

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

Hi Mums

I live in New Zealand and I’m really keen on finding a regular best friend to chat with. It’s incredibly lonely. I love Australia and I think it would be fantastic to have friends there. If you’re comfortable with long-distance friendships we could meet up in New Zealand. I also want someone to video call because I currently have no friends every single day. I feel really lonely because I don’t have a nice family. I just want friends to become family one day and of course I need to trust them first which is why I’m making this post. I just got married 🥹👰❤️
