    I've not sorted child benefit either :o or tax credits etc TBH I just can't be ar5ed - I need the form filling fairy to visit :p

    MFD - the CTF is a pile of pants anyway, worst idea ever! Chris's is in one that you can only be in if immediate family are in the police so prob no use to you...

    ETA - its my botty that hurts :shhh:

    oh I will its not that easy this year because I've been employed, on JSA and been self employed plus was also planning on claiming MA but I think its too late for that now because I STILL can't find the damn form they sent back which had my wages slips etc in:mad::rolleyes:

    hi all,

    sami - oh i hope you are okay. fingers crossed edgar lets you eat what you and get off to bed. what was the name of that nappy rash cream you said about. i remember it started with 'm' but that's about it.

    mfd - i still haven't sorted the trust voucher out. i must do that. i feel so disorganised at the minute. i have had the tax credits forms for well over a month now and am only looking at sending them off tomorrow (for all it's worth).

    we have had some success with the gaviscon, my baby girl hardly brings up milk. it's amazing really. i could easily go through three muslins a day previously. i have also bought her a wedge to put in her crib so that she is slightly raised when she sleeps so she doesn't bring up anything then either.

    it's just how lightly she sleeps ... not sure if there is anything i can do about that. what she seems to be doing now is once she is down, she might sleep 4 to 5 hours, have a feed (not always a full one) and then if i get her back into the crib she is awake again with 2 hours and then regularly again after that. have no idea why. i have been putting her in with me after the first feed, but last night i put her back in her crib, she had a few more hours in there and then i let her come in with me.

    am i the only one too not wanting to put her newborn clothes away???

    In Wolverhampton you just call a number after you have got baby registered and they pass the information directly to the child benefit peeps...wish I had known this before I sent off Benjamins Birth Certificate...they sent it back folded into quarters :mad: and NOT EVEN NEATLY :mad::mad::mad:

    Glad LO is getting better.

    We found that putting Benjamin in his own room was the best thing we ever did! We all sleep better for it.

    You need to speak to Mel about wanting to keep the newborn clothes out!!! Are you trying to follow where SB led???
