Hi,

Can someone please tell me if there is a quick way for me to find threads I have been reading once I have left the thread. I want to make sure I can keep upto date with Mum2one's progress.
Please excuse the stupid question, but I am VERY NEW.

Thanks

Once you have posted on a thread you automatically subcribe to it. You can subscribe without posting by clicking on threadtools at the top of the posts.

Hope that helps xx

Ooh forgot about that I wonder what increase Ill get better than nowt I guess. Edit to add...

I looked it up for three it will be an increase of £2.50 a week so over a tenner a month to add to the income which is better than taking it away.

Theres a £70 one off payment to families of disabled children in January, £60 to single pensioners, £120 to pensioner couples. The leves for claiming Working and Child Tax Credit have changed too. The simplest breakdown is here: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/Budget2008/DG_072926

Its New Years bonus day on Bingo. The St. Miniver sites are giving a free £1 just for logging in. I won 50p too. I'm easily pleased.

Think voluptuous thoughts. Tescos size 24 stuff doesn't fit you because its specifically designed not to fit anyone other than the owners mothers next door neighbours auntie Gertie. Their sizing policy is ridiculous and varies from item to item. I have size 14s from Tesco that are too small and size 8s that are too big and the funniest has to be the childrens range. Age 16 swamps me, the sleeves are too long (I have arms like a gorilla), I'm far better off in a childrens age 12, despite being almost 6 foot tall. Work that one out because I've given up, but I did really really really want a pair of Mickey Mouse Pajamas that they had in last years childrens clothes section. Meanwhile DD2, aged, 6 finds the age 2-3 trousers fit perfecly round the waist but look like shorts and DD1 doesn't even bother to try things on in there anymore because they just look silly on.
