Hi Ladies

My Name is Terri and I have 3 children DD6, DS4, DD2.

I work full time in the NHS in a job i love and have been for 15 years.

I now earn approximatly £10'000 a year more than DH, which doesn't bother me or him. As it is a very similar situation to most of the ladies working in my department.

Recently it has become more of an issue as DH has had to take a pay cut, due to the current economical climate.

I just wondered, what situation others are in, and if there are any issues?Terri, Samantha, Robert, and Kathryn.

Hi,

I voted 'Other'.

I usually earn more but am currently on maternity leave so am surviving on SMP & am being supported by my partner.

I earn £1000 more a year basic but then DH does overtime so that boosts his wages, we have a good wage coming in but it never seems enough and our outgoings are allways more then what comes in! We are both trying very hard to make cuts and save some money before our baby is due in April.
