    Exciting times here. We were just seconds off getting a poo in the potty. She managed to get her knickers round her ankles but it ploped out into her knickers before she sat down :o
    LOL :rotfl:


    see this is my point, child benefit and tax credit IS NOT the childs money !!! It is the parents money to bring up the child :)
    OH and i class it as my money :o cos i did all the applications etc. i just buy all his food and nappies :D both of us have been so terrible with money but i have got so much better, that i would rather keep our money separate and then i've only got to worry about mine!

    she (the gran) just wanted that kid to be hers ... yer the other one was doing really well ... my mum tried doing what that woman did i lived in a hostel for 7-8 months to make sure my mother knew whose baby she was x

    EDIT: CONGRATZZ!!!!!! emlou :D:D:D:D:D x

    The [STRIKE]stupid[/STRIKE] poor girl gave her mother parental responsibilities! And she didn't even know what it was! :eek: I wanted to slap her, you just know it will cause problems when she grows up a bit and mum is overbearing with that one her side!

    I will redmel! I only flicked over to it tonight, I'm usually glued to documentaries when DH isn't here :o

    Well done on the biking, what age are they? DS1 only learned a few months ago and he 8 next month! If you don't mind me asking...

    I don't even have my own pension, let alone one for each of the girls!
    That's one of the reasons we wanted to do it - it makes sure she has one as it's one of those things people don't get around to setting up. Actually, she had one before me as we did hers with the same company as OH but we wanted to do mine somewhere else (so if one goes pearshaped at least we'll have one pension between us) so took laonger to get it sorted out.

    I've seen 2 about 5 times each.
    tia was there identical twins on that one or a girl who's sister was a H addict or was it a new one?
    Ep. 1 was identical twins. Ep. 2 had one who's sister died of a heroin overdose. Today was ep. 3.
    She is quite spoiled, though not aware of it, she does take no as an answer, but when we are in the disney store, or a shop and her face lights up at a cinerella gown or whatever, I can't help myself, oops!
    I know what you mean (although I don't frequent expensive shops so it's never anything that expensive). If I bought all the toys Alice took a shine to we would have a room stuffed full of teddies :eek: - she always wants to give every teddy on the shelf a cuddle when we're in shops.
    Oh, tell me more - I've seriously considered this for DS.
    OH just phoned up his pension firm and explained that we wanted to set up a pension just like his for our child and they sent us the forms. Because she's under a certain age they send all the correspondance to me (I think there were special forms because of her age). When I phoned them up about her annual statement when she was 14 months they did ask if I could put her on the phone to answer the security questions. :rotfl: I said, "Well I can put her on the phone but she's only 14 months so she won't say anything." so they let me answer them instead.

    Ds1 is 8yrs old he will be 9yrs in Nov...I did teach him last summer, but he wasn't very confident at all, and would barely use his bike so I have had to re-teach him this year...he is a bit more confident now and picked it up again fairly quickly. Although he still needs supervising on it at the moment

    ds2 is 6yrs old and is still trying to get the balance thing right, he manages a bit then fails to steer so crashes or he leans to one side and topples over!!
