    AM im feeling odd about going work ... so glad philip home so i dont have to pay fo a CM or nursery .... im looking forward to going back and i really really really aint x
    Well I do get 80% of the costs paid and HB take it into account when assessing my benefit so I pay ress rent and council tax, My childcare costs per week will be £123.50 and out of that I pay roughly £25 and tax credits pay the rest, so it's not too bad.

    thanks ladies!!! only my OH knows as it has to be kept quiet as it may put a few people out? they have been there longer but as i have been trained on everything and have been working my butt off she and the main boss think i would be perfect :D so i have the contracts etc to fill out next week!
    OH is still not working and as my hours are so long im not sure if its worth while now? the tax credits are good and the council have sent us a letter saying they will pay just about our full rent!(we are still skint though pmsl!)

    thanks weezl i may have to get the recipe from you! she has got so fussy and just refuses point blank, i have tried everything. i had cauliflower and cheese and she spat it out the min it touched her lips? do you think she is associating being sick with food?


    Congratulations on the job caz:D

    I don't really know what to suggest with Erin's eating, I have just been through a month of Kai doing this exact same thing....It was driving me absolutely crazy. I tried EVERYTHING home cooked food of all different consistencies, finger foods(toast, broccoli, carrots etc), different ages and varities of jars of food, fruit purees.....everything, he would eat a rusk if he was allowed to hold it or a tiny fromage frais, but that was it, EVERYTHING else was either spat out, dripped out, or point blank refused and a big screaming match......BUT for some reason he has just decided to start eating again:confused: He started off with a 4mth jar of food, so I stuck to that for a couple of days, then tried a 7mth jar...now he is eating both of those for a few days I will bother to cook him some food again:rotfl:

    Hope she doesn't do this for too long, but don't get stressed about it, I'm sure she will decide to eat again soon:D

  • Mel - mine does - I cook the rice longer for her, but with pasta she nicks it off my plate if I give her the chance!

    will be back for a catch up in a bit - Izzy has finally fallen asleep on me, so going to see if I can get away with putting her down!
