God does anyone watch the Biggest Loser on sky1 in a morning. I am obsessed with it!! Some of those guys have lost bout 140lb!!! It's inspiring. I loved the previous series so much (especially the UK ones!) and I want to go on it after baby is born!!!

Starving today and had my cereal already. Hoping this is good sign and i may get back to normal soon. DS seems OK today and OH has gone to work so he must feel fine. Am having computer break while DS has nap time.

Then we are off to tesco. I find it amusing all you ladies are all sweet things I am savoury at moment. I do like my chocolate biscuits but at moment can't stop thinking about Sausage Rolls and egg and bacon sandwiches.....hmmmm

Mmmmm, food :j

I'm debating whether to have bacon butties or toast with cheese and ham primula on it? (I've gone through 3 tubes of that stuff in a week )


I also want to throttle some posters on MSE today. So rude, patronising, on their high horses, up their own arrrs's, post wrong info, lie, etc etc :rolleyes: sooooo bloody annoying.

Oh I meant to ask too...

When ringing up Tax Credits after the baby is born, I know if you are getting SMP, you don't count the first £100 of your money, but what about Maternity Allowance? Is that the same or not?

And do you tell them that this years money is X amount less than last years ~ and will they base your award on the money you have coming in when bubs is here as opposed to what we earnt last year?!

Hope that makes sense lol x

I've eaten far more bacon and dippy egg sandwiches during this pregnancy than is healthy I'm sure.... Which is funny because when I was having Aimee I went right off bacon, couldn't eat it at all! (This time it's chicken I've gone off)

Just been to a literacy thing at school with Aimee, got to sit in on one of her lessons and watch what they do.. Then a little talk on how we can help with writing... And then a little display on healthy things to put in lunch boxes... Which funnily enough was a table with a variety of things that Aimee always has... She never has crisps, and occaisionally will get a couple of jaffa cakes as a treat... But otherwise just fruit and veg! I also asked if I could send her in with warm pasta in a thermos food flask and they said yes... Just have to buy her one now!

Sorry Shell I have no idea... I didn't get tax credits with Aimee, just income support for the first couple of years... I think the best thing to do would be to explain everything to the agent on the phone... (Or ask on the benefits board lol)

I'll give it 24 hours here then ask on the benefits board ~ I'd ring TC and ask them themselves but they don't really know their !!!!! from their elbow lol

Well if I don't find out beforehand, I'll let you know how I got on with them, seeing as I'm due before you

We're gonna have to put some money aside ourselves, to cover Steve's 2 weeks off when baby is here.

I've just thought, my maternity leave is due to start the 1st April, so that's when I wanted my MA to start, but I haven't heard anything from them - and the 1st April is in 3 weeks, eeeek!
