    I can't find school shoes, I don't want to pay £50 in Clarkes, I don't want £7.99 cheap tatt either....why is there nothing in the middle that looks like it might last more than 10 minutes that DD's actually want to wear....:mad:

    In better news, I did get one pair of trainers and one winter coat.....the other DD wouldn't make her mind up so I left the store in a huff.. I'm so grown up sometimes.

    Maz - DD1 had lady symptoms for years with upset tum every month, she's only just started, she'll be 14 soon but she only weighs just over 6 stone....Keep a note of it with Erin and see if it follows a pattern.

    DH had just been accepted for a 0% card - fab news as the credit limit matches a card that ticks over to 23% next month....phew!!!

    Hi everyone, I'm in the valley of 'stuff' today. Loads of things which really need sorting but are all giving me a bleedin headache. Childcare, funding, bursary, tax credits UGH. The trouble is I'm more confused now than I was before I started it all. So, I've posted on benefits to see if anyone there can help.

    Nothing is simple either is it. I've had a phone call from the uni to say I need to go to the police station to give them fingerprints for my CRB because my details are a bit like someone else they have on file... gulp, sounds a bit scary. The uni have also messed up my paperwork for the bursary too so I've got to go in and sort all of that out.

    Is it wine o clock yet?

    How do you do that then? I think I got a letter from pension people about something similar but didn't pay much attention cos it seems like years away and I'm convinced I'll never be able to retire anyway :rotfl:

    There you go Squizza loads of info on this site and to get a forecast you can register and they send you out a code in the post. OH's only took 2 days to come.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
