What plans SS, anything exciting ??????

I'm trying to find something to do when my contract ends that allows me to make some money, work flexibly enough to look after the monster, keeps me in my field and keeps me occupied.

i'm like mm on the cerazette. i;ve had no bleeding at all. (have done 2 pg tests so not pg) DR said yesterday that as i am fine on it, BP is ok he would do me a script for a year! so i now have enough to do me for another year!

its mentioned in the pack that some women have 'irregular bleeding'. guess you fall into this category MFD. depends on how much you can put up with whether or not you continue taking it or try another.

Hi stranger Elle was stalking you last night !!

Hows things ??

I know! I have been lurking!
Things are good thanks. been busy concentrating on losing some weight, so been over on the slimming world thread a lot, trying to get new recipes and some encouragement from others doing it aswell! (5.5lb off in 2 weeks so far! :T)

I got a bit addicted to the thread and thought a little bit of time away would be good. I did come on and have a nosey at what was happening with everyone for a bit when i was on MSE though. wasnt online at all yesterday and havent caight up in a good few days though.

Baby related news = Christopher now has 2 teeth and is still not fussed on spoon feeds, nor anything I have gave him BLW wise! so im starting to worry a bit as he isnt overly fussed on his bottles either. he has gone down to taking 3-4 bottles a day compared to his 5-6!??

Also, Katie has been going through a fussy food eatig phase - she is going to turn into mashed potato as it is all she has been eating the past week or so! turning me demnted! Although, I have took a supernanny approach to it the past couple days, so she successfully ate HM Steak& veg pie (with mash!) and carrot and parsnip and peas last night for dinner. Stew for lunch, and previous day pastie and HM wedges. so we are going in the right direction....!!!!

How is Jas and Dylan? xx

Quick hello all,

I keep catching up, thanking, go to post and Isla screams so then Ive missed whatever was previously being talked about that I was replying to. I give up!

Anyway, hello/bye and I hope all LO's are behaving as Isla's having enough tantrums for them all today

same reason why i stopped taking it after the 3rd month!

I tried three types of mini-pill (can't take the normal pill due to BP) and had random, almost constant light bleeding with all of them. It doesn't mean it's not working though, according to my GP. This was all way before I had Henry, BTW. My doc did suggest I tried taking two pills a day as I was near the 'cut off' weight wise (I think it was 11 stone), but this had not effect at all so I stopped taking the pill altogether.

Cleaning is progressing and I have just cleared out LO's room. My fairies have found a couple of items to offer:

Breastflow bottle- brand new, never used. It's the one that was given away free last year, supposed to be like BFing.

H+Care wipes- a bit of a random one but they came in the Emma's Diary bag. They are moist toilet tissue for people with piles . Thanks to my c-section I have no use for them, but happy to discretely pass them on to anyone who has (and is too embarrassed to buy such a thing in the shops).

Finally got Izzy down for a nap. One lot of washing up done, so letting it drip dry while I drink a hot chocolate and relax for a mo.

I've not caught on the last few pages, but re tax on health insurance. I don't know much about how the revenue decide on tax codes, just what happens when we've got them. But what I do know:

The tax year runs from 6th April one year to 5th April the following year. If you have health insurance in year one, your company doesn't need to declare it to the revenue (on a form called a p11d, incase anyone cares :rotfl:) until the end of July and by the time the revenue act on it it could well be near enough two years after you start getting the health insurance. Sometimes they don't even put you onto a new tax code until the beginning of the following year. So you could have signed up to health insurance through work in May 2008, the revenue wouldn't be informed until July 2009, and they might not get off their *&^% until April 2010 to give you a new tax code.

I don't know if that helps at all - do you remember when you signed up with health insurance?
