    Stoptober Survivor
    31st July is just the deadline for renewal, means nothing for a new claim and if they have to back date for you, it will make no difference :)
    The two best things I have done with my life

    When I phoned - on Tuesday, when Rhys was over ten weeks old :o - they didn't say anything about the deadline to me.. :confused:

    That's why I said "just in case" :cool: the tex credit people are a law unto themselves tho - I pooped myself (well nearly) when I sorted it out on tuesday (yes Elle I am even worse than you because I've had the renewal sine beginning of April) it had that we'd started using a childminder but not that we'd stopped - I thought I'd been getting the childcare element for 9months and would have to pay it back! I haven't been incidentally but why didn't they tell me that in the letter?!?

    Em - the instructions to that bouncer are HERE does that help?

    I actually have a hairy lower back too :o when they put the tens machine on my back it felt like It was yanking my hairys out lol.

    Her hair is around the top of her back/shoulders, it's almost in a circular shape. It's not thick hair, just fine stuff, it's been there since she was born, I remember I tried to rub it off when she was a few weeks old, thinking it was that fluff babies are born covered in, haha, needless to say it didn't go!

    First day of pants went fine thanks MM, though she didn't actually need a poo yesterday, maybe thats why it went so smoothly, bound to get one today at some point though.....I'll just sellotape her to the loo seat!

    Have you looked up foods that are supposed to speed up your metabolism? I know Chillies are one...


    Em - on page 4 of the instructions
    1. Always check that the door-frame is strong enough to support baby in the Jumboo-Bouncer first
    before the installation.
    2. The point of suspension should be tested for strength before placing baby in the Jumboo-Bouncer.
    3. The top surface of the door-frame should provide a horizontal ledge of at least 13mm (1/2 inch) wide
    and be level on each side of the door-frame (A)

    :p I just can't imagine spending that much on a bag. I was shocked when I saw ones in Boots that were £30. (But I might spend more money than you on coins, stamps, stamp albums, books and other things I collect.)

    Am I the only one then who doesn't get that "this is what I was meant to do with my life" feeling??? :confusing:
    Don't get me wrong I love and adore Alexandra (especially when she's sleeping like is is right now :rotfl:) but I am very much still "me" and I still have ambitions for my professional life that I want to acchieve... Alexandra is always going to be the most important thing in my life, but I just don't get that "Now my life has meaning" feeling... It always had meaning and I don't feel any different about that now :confused:

    Oh probably just me being extreemly odd again :)
