Hmmm ... yes, I know! Funny how a single income deals with *that* little obsession!    I can't even load up on lots of baby stuff because we have to be careful of our budget starting right now!

(How can you not like cheese?? Seriously!!)

No I am not into Dairy products at all...so I do eat cheese but only if it comes with some thing....burger!!

We dont really buy cheese at home. If we do it sits there and sits there and sits there....LOL

My bad $16 - Tax = Crap all....

Just talking to WINZ and IRD to see what help we would get if I stayed home for longer. Sad to say...but becuase I have a high Salary we will get = $0.00 a week. YAY!!

and $16 a week is quite a lot really, especially when you work it out as a lump sum.

thats five lots of 2 litre milk ... 16 loaves of $1 bread ...   a couple of packs of mince and maybe some sausages too! a latte and a muffin and maybe a train ride at buttefly creek for your kid!

but not all at once of course...

Nah they look at your Year income. If I dont work at all for three months (not inc the 14 weeks) then we get $70. And if I work only 20 hours a week (Like I am planning) then we get nothing.

It will be better off that I work from home 20 hours a week and get extra cash. Cant depend on the govt to give me any thing....

Oh well!

I heard a rumour that Labour are going to make PPL for 6 months, up from 14 weeks. No doubt too late for me (whinge moan).

But yes, that $16 will be good to pay for my newly acquired chocolate habit

The budget has already come out this year, which means it probably won't come into effect until at least May 09 (next budget) - sorry! Will be interesting to see if it becomes an election issue.
