    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

    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.

    BM - can he ask his work if he can opt out of the private health care? Mind you, if you do that you know that the following week he would put his back out or something ;)

    I have a baby who is FAR too excited to sleep, so have given up and got up again for the moment. She is busy cleaning her table. I hoe she likes cleaning this much when she gets older!

    it could be the formula that is 'bunging' hinm up. K was like that on the Hipp milk but once we stopped using it he was ok after a day or so.

    Right, so what milk did you move to??

    We got some apitmial cartons to try him for a day but was then advised thats not enough time to see a change (doh lol) so we need to buy him a carton really

    Will asda let us return our carton of cow and gate if its still sealed if we find another milk is better?

    Not sure lala! I think he's hoping he does need to go to hospital because he can just go in an NHS one and claim £100 a day :rotfl: That would make up for it. Maybe I'll shove him down the lift shaft - Disneyland here we come :p
