Just trying to get my head around budgeting .... Anyone any experience in this or know where I'd stand also if anyone knows how best to off set costs of new employee that be great it's a 19 year old and her first job

    Your going to be going back for OPFP again as soon as your baby is born as you will reqaulify for all 4 kids as youngest will be under 7 once again. So OPFP for yourself + 4 less maintenance once again and income from self employment + 1/2 rate maternity benefit.
    You can look for JobsPlus for your new employee if she’s been on JSA for long enough.
