im really silly at the moment and living off my tax credits and child benefit, dont want to end up on benefits as i find them to be at you all the time, am trying to find a job but nothing so far? but we are managing and probably eating better as theres nothing to just eat it has to be made and cooked lol!

Whoops - I think it was me that started Mincegate. But I think it's been fairly well established that I am extreme/unusual in many areas so what you are doing is probably closer to normal than my meat portions.

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

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 now and phone to adjust when you start paying childcare

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

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.
