    Been catching up but am a tad sleep deprived so retained pretty much non of it! Baby girl was at HV today and has gained 4oz and is now 8lb11oz then went for a wonder as was actually up and about. Apart from nappies didn't buy anything (unless you count stamps!)

    MIL visited yesterday and we walked down to tesco and did some food shopping, not only did she insist on paying for it she picked up a cute lil outfit for T too :)

    T is def on a growth spurt atm as she is feeding every 2 hours and for much longer. Had a yuck night last night and got v lil sleep and ended up in abit of a state ( mucho tearage!) especially as OH was fast asleep and snoring his head off! The dog shows more concern, even if he wakes up he'll ask what's up but does nothing so what's the point grrr :(

    Evening everyone, hope everyones good?

    I tried to post earlier but just as i finished my laptop crashed , was well annoyed!! i need a new laptop the screen on this is going really dodgy !

    sept baby - funny u mentioned that pink tshirt earlier, jake was wearing the exact same one today!

    my tax credits have gone down £20 a week as well, maybe they'r docking everyone 10quid per child lol!! i think its since jasmine turned 1 actually they went down, cba ringing them tho to be honest, as little contact i have with them the better otherwise things end up getting complicated!

    does anyone here shop at farmfoods? got some vouchers through today, £5 off £50, let me know if anyone wants one,

    nothn on tele....

    Katie has really trying to be telling me this one particular thing today and i cannot make head nor tail of it at all. I couldnt even describe what it is she is tryig to say. but theres a lotta mouth and tongue moving and mouthng and a lot of hand gestures to go with it. Its so cute. I try to be serious and listen carefully, but when i ask her to repeat it, or tell her i dont understand, she kees syaing it ove n over again, and then i giggle cos she is too damn cute and then she gets all annoyed and i feel bad. hehe

    sorry, am blathering.
    Carla-Farla!! :)

    Tax credits always drop your dough a few weeks before the renewal, as they work it out some stupid way....

    You know yourself if you change a tiny detail they reassess you, and back when they actually gave me money worth checking the bank about, once they reassessed you, they'd give you an extra payment that week and then if you looked your form the last few weeks of the year, it always went down quite a bit! I think it's a way of doing it so you are not overpayed.

    GOD KNOWS! I just hate them anyways! Idris gets £333 taking off his tax free allowance because tax credits wanted to know if he had private health insurance - What a rip. Not like he has even claimed off it. Don't even see how that is right because his company pays for it, so why does he get taxed on an extra £333 per year? Fannys.

    Bacon bread was a bit of a failure, I think there wasn't enough yeast or too many pine nuts or something :(

    But it tastes ok, just the texture is off.
