    i was thnking about both of you this afternoon! glad everyone is well! -- what about the car!???

    i had this argument with a friend - she is single, living with parents, i was just chatting and we started talking about money and jobs etc. i mentioned that i had worked out lotsa different situations, and i am currently btter off staying at home than i am going to work = she completely refused to believe me and now we arent really talking
    tha car is amazing! bright orange really sporty looking etc! the guy helping OH had managed to get a pully to fit to get him home and we have ordered the part to fix it for tom! we are really lucky though to have someone to help and fix the car and also that the timing belt didnt snap and leave us without a car! oh it has a tv/dvd and reverse camera :D cant wait to get a drive!

    we are £50 worse off a week with me working i dont understand why but thats the way it has been worked out? i dont understand how tax credits etc works as i thought they were meant to help you be better off than benefits. £200 a month is a huge amount to be down on and all i can say is thank god for ebay lol!

    Thats horrible !! Is it not illegal to leave your child alone if they are under 13 or something ??
    in scotland its not illegal to leave your child unattended as long as you think they are responsible enough, so in all rights i could leave my 8 year old with all the kids and not be in any trouble for it:confused:(not that i would!)
    right im off to bed not sure how i have managed to stay awake for this long lol!
    night everyone and hope all the babies behave and all sleep well xx

    Thanks MM, SS, Carla and MFD - I think we're there now!


    Another question - i'm full of them tonight!

    Does anyone know where you get the baby wipes with the big plastic dispenser type box? We had a white pampers one but DD1 has managed to crack the lid. I've tried Tesco, Asda, Mothercare and Boots - but not found one. I can't even remember where the original pampers one came from.

    Its Emlou :) if you're with o2 they give you a % of your last years topups off a new phone but only when staying PAYG as usually you'll get a free phone on contract
