MSE Parents Club Part 11
Comments

Did you all read about the girl whose prom was cancelled because the organisers refused to let her bring a female date? And the parents organised one but then that too was cancelled? So they organised a Friday night party at the local country club instead?
The prom organised by the parents wasn't cancelled. They just pretended it was so that the lesbian, her date and a couple of students with learning disabilities would go to the country club and not bother the nice hetero students at the real prom.

I find that happens too. Not that I've been on it for ages mind
Just dashing in to ask for some help. I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this on here, but just looking for a few extra reponses for my uni project. If you've got a couple of minutes spare, can you answer 4 questions here:

I have to either write a business plan promoting the shop and why I think it will be successful, or write an essay explaining why I think it would fail. Still undecided if it would work or not at the moment though
Done
Who normally qualifies for HB?? If I own my own home and we both work does that mean we wont qualify? (we dont normally qualify for benefits lol, other than the £20 tax credits for the first year and CHB)

I thought there was a minimum award for CTB and HB? The one time we qualified for CTB they wouldn't give us it because it was less than the minimum award. The computer says we qualify for CTB now but we applied and were refused. It's all a scam.0

kindof I don't know the rules but we don't get it and we qualify for more CTC and WTC than you so I guess you don't either.
We were given some council tax back when OH lost his job but didn't cash the cheque and sent it back because he got a job the week after his redundancy pay period finished, I was on mat leave/SMP at the time.0 -
Afternoon all..
Rhys has just snuggled up with me and fallen asleep on my shoulder, but I've put him in his cot now cos I had to answer the door to the postie. He did the same this morning too about ten minutes before we needed to leave for the hospital :doh:
90 minute wait at the hospital (doesn't matter, I was prepared this time and I'd rather wait for a doctor than that nurse butcher Rhys again) but the blood test went well and Rhys was calm throughout
He sat eating raisins and shrieking at the health care assts while we waited
When we got home, I made him a cheese spread sandwich... and he ate it :j Only time he cried was when his mouth was empty!
He ate sticks of cheese too, he only had solid cheese (it's normally grated and melted into his mash) for the first time on Sunday
He's having a pulling himself up day too.. It was the first time in ages I'd put the tray on his highchair, and as soon as I did he was trying to stand, then later was sitting on my knee facing me, grabbing the neckline of my top and when that didn't work, he just grabbed a handful of skin - ouchie!
