00:00I'm on a mission to earn as much money as I can whilst I'm on maternity leave because
00:19statutory maternity pay is sh**. So I decided to start this mission after I found out how
00:24low statutory maternity pay was when I fell pregnant last year. So I tried out loads of
00:28different side hustles to try to make money whilst I was still at work to save up for
00:32when I was on maternity leave. And now I am on maternity leave, I am trying to make as
00:35much money as I can around, obviously, my newborn baby.
