Thanks Mel.

You're right, I'd be just cutting off my nose to spite my face to try to manage on my own. That damn independant streak will get me into trouble one day. I always said I'd never ask people to baby sit, it was my choice to have her blah blah blah. Just didn't realise how hard somethings are with a pushchair.

Really really makes me appreciate that I don't have to worry about a wheelchair.

How are you feeling this morning? Apart from unappreciated, hopefully it was just a 'heat of the moment' comment and not really meant IYKWIM.

Anyone know about the cold weather payments? Apparently we are eligable for 4, but how do you get them?

Oh, no, maybe not. You have to be in receipt of JSA of IB. So no then.

We got one last year I think, and weren't in receipt of JSA or IB. I'm almost positive it came through as a separate payment into the account where Joes DLA goes into? Or was it the Disability element of the tax credits that made us qualify?

There's a huge thread on here about the payments - but its about a clear as mud!


ETA: Scrap that - i'm being blonde. I've just trawled through my bank statements for last winter, it looks like we didn't get a cold weather payment, it was that £60 bonus thingy I was thinking about.

Question, if someone (close to you) told you that you were crap at cooking/keeping the house clean/in bed/raising the kids, would you try to prove them wrong or would you think F..k you then and not do those things they said you were crap at. Even though they said them in an argument so 'possibly' only saying it to hurt your feelings??

Mel x

I'm very childish and stubborn, so would for the next week or two do absolutely nothing for the person who said that, just to make him realise what you actually do for him .

He'll soon notice when he's ran out of clean undies and is starving to death. :rolleyes:


Morning all.

Just in the process of catching up but saw Harley comment about leaving a pushchair unattended, just to say pushchairs are not allowed inside our Doctors so I have a little bikelock which I keep in the basket at the bottom, it comes in very handy, might be an idea for you?

Mel - I am crap at all of the above except cooking. My house is a tip cos OH has loadsa crap and won't get rid of anything plus we have BIL living here who is taking up a room which we used for storage.
OH does moan at me and say I am crap - to which I reply 'If you want it tidy, sell or get rid of your !!!!!! and I'll keep it tidy' BUT in the back of my mind I think to myself 'I'll have a tidy round tomorrow'

My plan from tomorrow is going to be making the most of Jack going back to bed after his first feed (as long as its not before 6.30am!) and doing a little bit of housework every day.

Weezl - Jack has been Possetting for the last 4 weeks or so. Sometimes it is just a bit of dribble with some chunky milk in it but others (like this morning) it is a lot more! It smells like proper sick even though most of the time it mostly saliva with the sick. Frequency can vary like Fergie's but I'm not worried yet as I'm hoping he'll grow out of it!

Weaning - well, he had fruity cereal and loved it! Was a freebie one from C&G and he wolfed it down. Only 1 spoon but am sure he would have had about 10! He slept til 7am and had 7ozs, then had another 7ozs at 9.30am along with the cereal. Am just waiting to see when he wants his next bottle :rolleyes:

Thanks, what a fantastic idea.

Whenever I manage to make it out of the house I'll look into getting one. I generally carry her from car to doctors and car to boobie club but both do have pushchair parks so I'll probably need one at some point. She and the car seat are starting to get a bit too heavy to carry now.

Hoping to get her weighed tomorrow as clinic has been shut for a month but need to try to get through the snow first, keep fingers crossed it starts to defrost soon. Just long enough for me to get car, doctors, dentist, supermarket and town just once then it can come down again for another week.

Tia, had a visit from some lovely fairies this morning (I know, a Sunday:cool:) and Kezia and I are extremely grateful for such beautiful dresses. You are indeed fabulous. xxxx

Hey Glam, glad to see weaning started well. Hope it wasn't too messy, I have some lovely plastic sheets (free with some magazines last year) for when we start. Cringing at the thought of food on my white carpet. xxx

Welcome home Sami. Missed you, hope you had a good time in the end. xxx
