    No change in Rhys' weight in two weeks.. pah! Ah well.. more cheese sarnies :D (don't think the docs will be hugely concerned - it's the first time in a long time he's not gained, but at least he's not lost).

    PS was HUGELY impressed with his sitting and very praising (is that a word in the right context?) of his acheivements.. I told her I wasn't overstruck on the physio's attitude and she tentatively asked if I was still okay with her coming too! :o I said yes - I know I wasn't when she first came but I've changed my mind now. She is nice and she'd be useful to still have while we don't see physios for months - physios=pressure, PS=fun ;)

    Righty, must go for a drive to drop off a anniversary card to a friend and hope Rhys naps in the car - he's hanging out in his Jumperoo watching Jeremy Kyle right now! :rotfl: :o
  • Afternoon ladies,

    Just scoffed a cream cake - a colleagues birthday!!

    Have been out this morning training [STRIKE]monkeys[/STRIKE] site staff how to behave and how to prove they are behaving :D


    Am shattered ATM, desperate need for an early night in MFD towers.


    Hope all mummies and daddies and babies are behaving well.

    elle as Rhys is moving more he will be burning off more so probably wont put on as much weight as before? the main thing is he hasnt lost weight!
    for the first time ever my nephew has put on 9oz in 1 week!!! he is on a high calorie milk and is only allowed 1 bottle a day but it seems to be working!

    phoned tax credits (guess who forgot to update their address!) and they cannot take the new income until i recieve the renewal form, she said i wont get it until may??

    Mel, DS is excitedly awaiting his reply :D

    The lodge looks lovely! Infact... it's now on my maybe list :D

    Caz, I thought they could update income details at any time? Did you play up and say you were finding things difficult and couldn't afford food? For all the time takes, they do it there and then!

    they said they couldnt take p60 details until the pack had arrived and as mine hasnt been sent out i will have to wait? i checked the award and it does state that as of this week we will be £50 down but i didnt expect it!
    luckily i had transferred paypal funds over so we are ok but if i didnt have that we would be stuck!
    aless you may be different with ML etc? give thema call and see how you get on! a warning though i was on hold for 20 mins?

    They always do it like that, every year....most of the year you can just phone at any time, but to do the 'renewel' you have to wait until you have received your pack, then you can phone...Something to do with them not overloading the system so they do it batch by batch and once your pack has been sent out your file goes into awaiting renewel details status! Some tosh like that anyway....

    I hope tax credits send me my stuff last, I CBA with their mammoth forms coming through the door. They can't just send one either, it's two or four or six, then you change ONE tiny detail and you get it all again. No wonder my kitchen drawers are a mess.

    Went into town with Keira, ARGH she was a nightmare. Being gobby, moaning, whinging, kept wandering away in shops and then pretending she was on the phone to people but bawling out at about 1000 decibles.

    Not taking her back in town again :eek: Well at least not when she is tired because she is a mare and I now have a headache.

    Also thought I had lost stuff I had bought her for her Bday from Claires accessories, but after phoning, they had forgot to pack it. Phew!

    Got her a nice cardi, and 2 dresses from New look reduced, so that was good. £4 on her Bday dress - Get in!

    Clear !!!!!! hole house commences tomorrow, bathroom is a disgrace, the living ain't too bad, just the dining table never seems to get clear, ever!

    Caz - Ouch £50 a week is a lot!
