Sorry Tiesto, I didn't read your thread title properly. I didn't notice the 'work' bit.

Obviously in general day to day life everyone is, but as you say, not all areas of employment will be affected.

No not because you are 21, because he must have been about 29 when you were pregnant at 16, unless he's not the dad.

I could fill at least a thread on its own so no point hi jacking this one.

If work is slow, he is earning less so why would he want to give you a pay rise so he is earning even less?
