    how have work treated the taxable benefits before MFD? Have they been deducting more via PAYE in the past?
    some medical benefits aren't taxable though:

    has the package that work provide for you changed?

    xxx

    Nothing has changed as far as I am aware...will get the accountant to have a look at it when I visit him to set up my business *crosses fingers*

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

    6 weeks is great Maz, especially as you have had a tough time of it. I for one don't think I would have stuck it so long if I had struggled with it!!

    oh did you do the curry how it was recommend by glam and sorry can't remember who else :(

    not sure about eating it, is it chicken? if so maybe i wouldn't but if lamb or beef might be okay??

    It's pork! It wasn't to a recipe other than a chuck it in and see recipe!! Pork, onions, peppers, 1 tin toms, 1 carton passata, a heap of rogan josh powder, some garam masala and some stock. Maybe I will heat it up and see if it is nice before I decide to eat it or not!! My kitchen is quite cool so it is not like it has been sat in the sun!


    Just been to boots and bought a stash of Moxi Designer Tampons in cute little tins reduced to 50p for 16. I also bought the 32 boudoir boxes for 75p. An absolute bargain if anyone uses applicator free tampons. Looked like they were end of line stock.

    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?

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

    Hairdressers is my next treat for myself - might even have it coloured !!!
    I need to go to the dentist, I misssed both mine n Chris's because we were due when Ed was due to arrive and I never got around to making a new app :o I gota reminder this morning, Chris has been going ever since he got teeth though:cool:
    I agree any breast milk is a benefit, well done you for going so long, I know it's not been easy for you :T
    ...
    I met a mum at the bus stop earlier, her kid goes to the morning nursery though, anyways, he is away to start school in Sep (Poor Keira all her friends are going to school *sob*) and his mum STILL pushes him in a buggy, EVERYTIME I SEE HER HE IS IN A BUGGY, dummy in his mouth and a blanket rubbing off his face!!

    The reason he is like that is cause she is a fat lazy slob! ANd obv doent wanna run after him. When I say fat, I don't mean just fat, I mean like morbidly obese fat, she has a bum cliff!
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I've alway tried to find a way to decribe what I call a stuck on bum but your way is fab!! :p

    Is it wrong that I was totally excited about this and planning a trip to Boots when I have a stash of about four boxes of tampons and haven't had a period for a year?!

    I keep wondering when i should be expecting a period, is it true that bf'ing delays it?

    I stopped bleeding completely when she was 2 weeks old, and it was v.light throughout - not how i remembered it being after DS :eek:

    You've probably already done it but have you flicked the switch in the back of the glow worm? It makes the songs play a little bit longer and the light on the face fades out.

    I've not been to a hairdresser for over a year :o:eek: I sereiously look like a tramp :cool:

    sorry missed the red before. no actual made up milk.
    I used to wash and sterilise 6 bottles then put the hot water and powder in, shake 'em up and stick them in the fridge, I think Glam cools hers in a sink of cold water before putting the fridge but I didn't

    LOL - no sadder than me planning to go back and buy more when I have just bought 160 tampons!! It is not like they won't get used!

    Since I went on Cerazette I seem to bleed all the time so I get through a few!


    I will have loads of spare little pink candy-striped tins though!!




    Edit - LOL Pinkpig - I am pretty sure I haven't flicked any switch in the back of the glowworm!! I just thought he was crap and I don't even know where he is now!!!
