    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.

    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 :D 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! :p 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 :o

    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! :(

    He used to - before he even tried to pull himself up, he just used to like to grab. Thankfully he seems to have forgotten they exist for now! :o

    Chris won't eat a piece of cheese either but loves phili or melted on pizza/toast etc
    He won't eat mash either which mystifies us because they are like our 2 fave things to eat!

    Think how I feel :p sometimes he sort of tries to pull them off :eek:


    I'm excited :D my friend complete with her new boobies is coming round on tuesday, shame I have to wait a while until I can give them a feel ;):rotfl:

  • Do any fairies have a lead that will connect my samsung U900 to my laptop to download all my photos? My fairies will return it (with chocolate) as soon as I have used it.
