i understand that krystal as i have been there myself but it wasnt in the sense of that it was she was quite digusted at the thought of working .... also her bf lives with her (when hes not in prison) .. so were he to get a job it would be a wink wink nudge nudge job ... i think theres only me and one other mother that works in zoes year that i know of ... the amount of times i hear them complaining the rules are changing for benefits and how they'll think of ways to get round them x

I saw mention of tax credits earlier. I haven't applied for them yet. Should I be applying? I won't get WTC, but should get minimum CTC. I thought it was for childcare though so wouldn't apply until I went back to work. Is that wrong? I really should pay more attention.

apply!!!
even if you get £1 a week its better than nothing and £100 a week of maternity oay doesnt count.
think it can only be backdated 3 months though.

I'm okay thanks, still a bit strange, but not low, so that is good. Feel spaced out a lot, like I've had a few drinks.

one of the benefits of renting, means I have to do a proper clean every 3 months!

Other than feeling funny, are you ok? What is happening with docs?
I find I need to have more contact with people lately.

Have you had your meds changed? Same here with the 3 months check, last time i just let her come and she had a go about a few things so this time i went overboard and had the place sparkling and she was over the moon!
I have to back to docs every 2 weeks, she gave me diapam but i didnt like it, she doesnt want me to back on anything right now and keeps giving me sleeping tablets even though i have told her i dont want them? i feel i should be on something?

I started new antdepressants a few weeks ago, and went manic. Was suppose to cut dosage but haven't done yet. love the tabs in some ways, but not in others. I'm not sleeping well either. You could always see a different gp if she isn't helping. I see pysch again at end of march.

That's really cute Caz!

Hubby just got back and went to look at the bathroom... Heard Aimee behind him telling him not to tough the sink or it will fall off :rotfl:

i avoided the CPN as i felt that she put me down telling me i was overweight! she keeps making apps but i dont feel i can talk to her. he has went to see someone and i got really angry that he was taking her advice on board when it was things i had already suggested? seem to just sit in the house and not do much which as you know makes things worse, i only go out when i need to!
the meds seem to be working for you but its not good if they make you manic? do the positives outweigh the negatives taking these tablets? have you tried anything for sleeping? only thing that works for me is to go to bed exhausted but i still wake during the night?

We're planning to home educate.

it is the Continuum Concept feelie I think it's based on 'lost' tribes like in rainforest communities where very young (by western standards) use big sharp knives and hunt etc.

Yes, it was a lady (Jean Liedloff I think?) who spent a lot of time with an Amazonian tribe. (I think she was an anthropologist.) I would certainly agree with some of the methods which are used but I do think that account needs to be taken of the environemnt that they live in. So for example, I think that slings are a good idea for many reasons and used one frequently but I don't think that babies "need" to be physically attached to you continuously for the first few months. If however I lived in the Amazon rainforest I would probably be concerned about things like snakes etc. so I would be highly likely to keep my baby in a sling most of the time and I imagine this is why this tribe does that.

I wondered what you'd think of my 1000g of beef in the frying pan!

:eek: I don't think I could manage that much meat (or afford it). We have friends who do really big portions of meat for Sunday lunch and I always struggle to eat it. When I was pregnant (and eating much less) I actually sneaked some of mine onto OH's plate because I couldn't manage it. But then again, I could quite happily eat salami as a snack.
