I wonder if I can be rude and just pop in to ask a question. Do I need to send off Kezia's birth certificate for Working Tax Credits as well as the Child Benefit? I'd like to get all the claims in at once but obviously I can only send the original to one place at a time.

I'm fairly sure I didn't need any evidence for CTC - I just phoned up and gave details over the phone. (But we already had a claim for WTC so if you don't it could be different.)

I like the name Kezia. Unfortunately it doesn't go with out surname.

he was surprised at the black rash said it must be where silver nitrate rubbed off belly button onto nappy & back onto skin. apparently it will take a month to go :rolleyes:

I've spilled silver nitrate on my hand when I worked in the lab. It's clear like water and I didn't realise I'd done it, but it soaks into your skin. Then it reacts with light to go black, so a big dirty stain developed on my hand. It doesn't wash off and you have to just wait until it wears off through normal skin shedding.

Olive oil is good for eczema and other dry skin conditions. Keep old cotton clothes and rub oil on the skin and leave it on overnight. It works wonders on dry hair too. I just had some on my hair last night as it was starting to feel a bit crispy on the ends.

I saw the video of the baby and the train and I was really shocked. That's one lucky baby, but I just can't imagine what his mother must have gone through. She must have been really shaken up.

I just can't believe they don't have a warning on the video - I'm in bits imagining what that poor mother must have been feeling.

SS they should give warning the thought of it scares me let alone actually seeing it x

Woo.. I am the chosen one for a breadmaker off Freecycle OH keeps asking about getting one so this should give him something to play with for a while

Glam – poor Jack. That looks sore the poor wee mite. Do you think it is eczema? Holly’s is a bit yellow and crusty. Hoping it heals soon.

Clover – I have no idea how you cope with 6 children, never mind on your own. Definitely be proud of the job you have done so far, but you need to get some support from someone. I hope someone has pointed you in the right direction as I would not know where to start myself.

SS – so jealous of you going to Paris! Did you manage to get your paper finished?

The rest of you are all just a bit mental! All this talk of robots and zombies! Crazy ladies! :eek:

My heart was in my mouth watching the footage of the train and the pram going under it, but I don’t think they should have to put a warning on it. Unfortunately there are upsetting things on the news every day. At least this one had a happy ending thankfully.

I have been hovering all day but finding it difficult to post with 1 hand as Holly did not want to sleep or be put down today! So if I have missed anyone I am sorry – been reading all day, but can’t remember much now.

Fitzio, if I'd had any inkling that the footage was coming I'd have turned away. I'm angry that it's just there scrolling automatically on the homepage and not just on the page with the story, IYSWIM - I wouldn't have clicked on the story because I know it would upset me, so having it forced on me really, really upset me.

I did get the paper finished, thanks, and went to the booksale too - paper went out at 5:58pm and my pile of 50 cent books was enormous. It's still snowing here, and there was a gale blowing out where the sale was. I walked past a building site with big sheets of metal blowing around - very glad I left the monster at home.

Just booked my Paris hotel - €300 for two nights :eek: but reduced from €420 and I get 10% Quidco. The Friday will be work, an interview and a lecture, and then two days in lovely Paris. Husband's sister lives there, and she's about to have her baby so we're taking a suitcase of stuff to her and we'll get to look at the baby too.

Hi everyone, I'm back got my new wireless connection so pleased about that. Talktalk have been told to go jump!

On a serious note, people who are on my facebook list know that my mother in law had a heart attack on wednesday afternoon and is in hospital. So please pray or send some love her way please. She has a blockage in a valve to the heart which they can't seem to move so will probably need another op once she has recovered from the last op. Sorry for butting in.

keely.

ps-baby related Elliot now enjoys little walks around the park properly now and screams his head off when I try to get him back into his pushchair!
