    Ohhh thats promising lol

    I just did it again and it said this at the bottom:

    This is the amount your household may be entitled to from 02/10/2009 until 05/04/2010. This result is only an estimate and is based on the information provided assuming you make the claim on 02/10/2009. This means the amount shown may not be your entitlement for the full year

    SO you are right :) so its like just over £1000 for the full first year (I know it drops once baby is one)

    Which is still the £80 a month BTW lol

    So yes £80 Tax Credits, £80 CHB and a drop in wages of £251 (but clawing back £160 from benefit) so its a loss of £91 ish? but I would be working 2 days less a week

    I need to figure out a way to do it :) I am sure we can if we put our mind to it, even if we just get petrol and food down etc

    Out of interest, what have you budgetted for food/shopping etc? I'm trying to get ours down so am being nosy :rotfl:. I'm also wondering about doing some mystery shopping/ebaying buying and selling to raise a few extra pennies!

    Moosmummy- she is gorgeous!

    Jack is a very popular name! Been top of Boys list since 2005

    One of the girls from Parentcraft has called her son Jack so that could get confusing - will have to start calling mine JD now instead of later on.

    Oh dear, he's awake and I was supposed to be making the most of it doing the washing and tidying up not posting on here! Oops! :o

    I like the name Jacob, which will get shortened to Jake. Which is very close to Jack and can cause confusion lol.

    My mum named my brother after my nan who died. Her surname was Jack.
    Lucky she wasn't a girl, cause my nan's first name was Maureen :o

    Gill - I cant view that pic, worked have blocked it :(

    I'll look when i get home. I finish in an hour, woohoo! :) x

    Wow Glam time really has flown! Though he will of course remain a baby forever :D

    Moosmummy - she's a real cutie :)

    Jack's a lovely name, a real boys name :) I keep going over & over our 2 possibilities wondering if they're ok - Eliot & Marlowe - I wonder if Marlowe is a bit silly?!

    GISI I know you're not asking me...but :D I'm hoping to get our food shopping down to £90 a month before baby arrives, trying at the minute to stock up when things are on offer, particularly cleaning stuff/toiletries etc.
    Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j

    You have a very hygiene concious baby glam! :D

    I like Zac to. Its so hard to find a boys name that me and OH will agree on, and it wont sound weird when he's an adult.

    Knowing our luck i will be having a boy cause we cant agree on a name hehe.

    OH thinks its a girl though :D
    If it is a girl, i've seen this beautiful pink pram in JKUK, i dont want to get sucked into the whole, girly pink everything if it is a girl. But its soo beautiful :D
