    lol i dunno who it is, i think i googled ugly woman a while ago and had it saved to my lappy for some reason :rotfl:

    MFD i'd give it a whiff and decide if it should be eaten, the result would probably be yes but i'd cook it for longer to make sure any germs are deaded. < but i'm a germ loving scruff remember :p:D
  • Have the rules changed on taxable benefits, MFD? I don't recall anything but I'm not very up on these things.

    On the curry, I wouldn't but I'm a bit of a scaredy wuss. What's in it?

    On the car front you can save on isurance by ensuring you don't get 'boy racer' car. Our big Mondeo is cheaper to insure than our Clio as it is considered a more middle aged car. My first car, an old metro cost about £1k a year to insure, and that was 8 years ago!

    Hi always, good to see you back i was wondering where you'd got to.

    Think a few of us are having the same issues with crying babies on an evening - me and Aless are gonna try some gripe water today to see if that helps!

    Yeah what is that private medical deal anyways?

    Cause, OH gets private medical or something through work, though he has never used it and it's worth about £300 or something. Apparently tax credits need to know this as it counts as income so our income was lifted £300 when I did the form last year, which I don't think it's fair cause it's not like it's in our pockets!

    I also started worrying they'd do me in again for a mistake (like not telling them about it the year before, but i didnt know!)

    I also hate hate hate (with a PASSION) clothes shopping. So even when i could spare the cash to buy myself clothes, i tend to make do with what i've got rather than shop lol.

    I usually walk into a clothes shop, look around for 2 seconds before realising i could spend 5 hours in there and be none the wiser, so save the effort. I just feel like nothing ever suits me, and if i try anything on i look about 25 stone in the changing room mirrors.

    Are you my long lost twin - I feel the same!!!

    hope the dentist isn't something bad! You sound nice and positive :) I used to make my bottles for the next day up before bed then stick them in the fridge and microwave them as needed - this is not how 'they' say you should but I'd be doing this for Ed if he was on formula :)You mean just the water in a bottle ready to add formula?
    I've not been to a hairdresser for over a year :o:eek: I sereiously look like a tramp :cool:

    Initial check up as havent been for a year and my dentist has retired... need a couple of fillings (lost part of a tooth the other day) and a good clean, she also took some xrays... thank heavens for the Mat Exemption card:money:.... DONT FORGET TO GO TO DENTIST WHILST YOU HAVE THIS !!!

    Have you taken CHris yet ? I think its when they are 3 isnt it?
    Maz - I missed your milk finishing. Congrats to you for doing your bit :T you should be proud. xx

    Feel 100% now FF and my attitude is he has had 6 weeks which is better than nothing...just need to sort sleeping now

    I hate that too buttons! depending on the type of cover it saves the nhs money, the gov should thank you for having it by giving you more :p

  • :jHi Always, nice to see you on here! Sounds like Thomas is doing well.

    SS- that sounds like a bit of a 'mare. I have been stupid enough to close unsaved excel files on occassion and lost a lot of work. It is a bad feeling :(.

    I think I have worked out a way to get a gym membership for £80 using Clubcard vouchers. I am very happy as I miss using the gym but cannot justify huge monthly fees.
