    Chopsticks, nope, no teeth broken through yet :o

    I'm going into work sometime this month to sort out doing my KIT days. Still don't know which job I'm going to return to! Get butterflies everytime I think of it :(

    When are you going back to work?

    That's good on the teeth. When I do my next batch of cooking main meals, I'll do some pasta ones. She's got quite a lot of purees in there at the moment, it's fruit I'm running short of so will need to do some of those this week.

    It's horrible thinking about it, isn't it :(. If you go back to your old job, does the other lady still want to do a job share with you?

    I'm going back on either 20th or 27th April and will be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mum is having Caitlin one day and she'll be going to nursery the other two days. There is a nursery round the corner which we went to view before Xmas and liked, but we want to look at another couple just to ensure we've made the right choice.

    Don't know about a highchair, think I need a lead. She can't stay in one place for 5 seconds. Has got to the other side of the room right now as she is very interested in the dvd player!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    Evening all.

    Have caught up on some stuff but been popping on and off all day so probably missed bits and pieces! All of the new avvies are lovely (but Csh, you need a bigger one of Kieren as I can only make out the dwarves!).

    Cashback sites – I generally use Quidco, but occasionally TopCashback has a better rate. There is also Rpoints, but it isn’t as good as it used to be. Carla – you were doing it right. Harley – in the glossary section it states:
    Tracked* - The same as above except this merchant will not explicitly validate your transaction. Unless it is denied, this transaction will next change to received when payment is received from the merchant.
    I had more to say I am sure but can’t remember what.

    Today we ordered a travel cot which MIL is buying to keep at hers. We were going to get the Graco one which is on special at Babies R Us, but in the end I decided it had extras that we didn’t really need for the amount of times we will use it, so bought the M&P Classic one which is reduced to £39. MIL will be pleased! Might suggest she could buy a highchair with the money we saved he he.

    It’s -11 here! We went to our local Beefeater for Sunday roast dinner. Eating as much as possible before diet starts on Tuesday as that’s when OH goes back to work. We haven’t been out much due to being snowed in, but on driving to Beefeater, I noticed that our local Spar has disappeared into thin air! It’s no longer there and there is no rubble or anything. Apparently it burned down on Christmas Day! I remember now seeing blue lights and the main road was closed but we never knew why.

    Rhys wasn't over struck on the pasta but we'll persist and he'll get there eventually :)

    I really don't know about my job.. It's apparently all up to me and then based on whatever I chose, temp lady will get an offer for the rest. Either I can say I'll go to the new job and she'll be offered the role fulltime (though there is rumour that she might not want it fulltime), or if I want to go back to it part time, I pick what days/hours I want (within reason) and she gets offered the rest (or the alternative other job if she wants). i want to do either two days one week, three days the next, or three days a week. They won't agree to two full and one half day because it means two people travelling in for short days - not a prob for me as I'm 15mins away but temp lady is an hour away.

    Just did our CTF account through TopCashBack. Does anyone know of any normal children's savings accounts that TCB or Quidco pay back on?
