    .. Anyway, I must go to bed. I have an important phone call to make tomorrow.

    Have a good nights sleep and good day tomorrow :T

    Yes you do! And you know we're going to chase you about it until you've done it, don't you? ;)

    ETA: Use this number: 02890538192 :) It's the one AM gave me when I phoned on Monday, cheaper than the advertised one.

    Nighty night :)

    Morning all x

    can't wait until 2pm as I am getting my barnett cut & coloured. It's desperately in need of it!

    Am starting to look for a high chair for mr can anyone recommend a good one? It needs to fold fairly flat as there isn't much room in my house?

    ETA Yay for Rhys x

    Yay...Poor thing, I really feel bad for him having blood taken so often:(

    MOTM - You probably won't read this before you speak to them but you won't get tax credits for your eldest. It is only applicable for children up to 16yrs or up to 18yrs if they continue in Full-Time education. Sorry I forgot to say that last night..... But definitely get on the phone to them:)

    Kai is driving me mad with his constant spinning around the cot and waking himself up, he is so restless all night, then thinks it is time to shout and play between 5.30/6am and won't go back to sleep! He is funny though when he wants to get up he shouts for me and the longer I leave him the louder his his shouts get until they start to turn into whinges.... Something like Raa Raaaa Raaaaahhh Raaaaah Raa Raaaaa (shouting voice) then Ooooa oooooa ooooooooa ooooooaaaahhhh (rhymes with booga) then whingy wah waaah waaaaahhhhhhh:rotfl: I usually just get up at the shouty Raaaa stage now:rolleyes:

    Not much planned today, hopefully the weather gets nice and hot and can have a swim in the pool hehe. Then phone/e-mail Uni's for a last shot at getting on a course this year. Not sure what to do if I don't get in one. I don't want to go back to that job:o

    Oh I have found out about the people at the Job Centre. I eventually met a good one and she told me porkies it seems :o
    It could also be worth seeing if you can get it backdated further on the basis that you were misadvised. I have a friend who had her JSA application cancelled because she hadn't provided all the evidence in time but this was because she was told she needed certain things which she didn't actually need (which is what had caused the delay) so in the end she was able to get it backdated to when she had originally applied. Don't know if it would work with tax credits but would think it's worth a try since you were misadvised. I helped my friend sort it out and went to the jobcentre with her and the adviser we spoke to said it was very important to use the word "misadvised".

    Morning

    Hope everyone gets their benefits and tax credits sorted, and gets what they are entitled to.

    I remember reading that Cherie Blair claims child benefit payments :D

    I got her new suit from here expensive but will be handy when we're in a caravan in Northumberland in October!

    You lucky thing! Northumberland is beautiful and I love going there :cool:

    I keep looking at these, and want one for me! But £45.99 for ladies size is a bit un-:money: for a set of pyjamas! But i'm sure OH would find me irresistable in them! :rotfl:

    I want one, but I thought they were expensive too, and I wondered how I would manage going for a wee in the night :o I'll stick with my Primark fleece jarmies instead. I think they were about £8 a pair and I've got thick fluffy bed socks which were cheap in Primark too.
    Here I go again on my own....

    about ctc, sorry I read the whole conversation twice and I'm still muddled! I discount the first x part of my SMP when stating my 09-10 earnings?

    Oh dear, I didn't do this! Will they do it for me automatically at the end of the year or shall I ring now and readvise them?

    Also it's £100 per week for the whole 39 weeks of the SMP period is it?

    TIA and sorry to be a thickie :)

    Morning all..

    I was all up for feeding Rhys quickly then going back to sleep for a few hours but it seems he has other ideas :rolleyes: Had one bottle, was still bouncing around so gave him another one, he downed that too and he's still awake :eek: *yawn*

    Lots of sorting to do here once M&D arrive. Already looking forward to lunchbreak :o (will have to pause for the F1 qualifying ;)).

    Hope everyone has a good day xx Mel, good luck with your uni phone calls! :)
