    Yes Glam, it includes those still getting it. You're getting SMP at whatever rate it currently is :)

    Thanks - a whole £1 and a bit extra a week! :j

    I officially hate that entitled to website :mad: It's poop :p

    I got all excited cos I thought we were gonna get like £2k in awards but it seems I'd put in last years pay for me and OH but put down that we paid £147.50 a week childcare. Doh!

    Can't believe that even with us earning £12k less this year than the previous we will get nothing more than what we get now!

    It's ridiculous really as its a huge difference in income!

    What the pound that will be taxed at 20p, NI at 11p & Pension at 6p leaving me with 63p :rotfl:Can't buy much with that these days! :(

    Off to bed now - I have a huge mystery shopping job on tomorrow so need my wits about me! :)

    oh and Elle - stuff MIL and save the money for a holiday for the 3 of you!

    My PIL said they weren't coming up for BIL's birthday as he would be home so OH said we could look at going to Spain - I checked flights and it was only £150 return for all 3 of us. Mum has a villa so free accomodation & can get free lifts to and from airports so only food to pay for.
    MIL rings up tonight and says 'Oh actually we will come' so instead of 6 days in the sun with OH and J I get 2 days of PIL AND BIL and then 4 days just me and J! :mad:

    I don't get what the "you chose to have him" comment was about. He wasn't a mistake or even an accident - he was tried for and they know that because they know about the m/c before Rhys :(

    My mother has never looked after my children.. unless it was one of the 3 emergencies I've had (labour at 30 weeks,docs appt with DS2 with a massive chest infection and .. something else I forgot..) I've always been of the opinion these are my children and I had them and therefore look after them..

    It was a truly bizarre comment if she just came out with it with no prompting such as 'oh you can watch him while we buzz off here there and everywhere etc'..

    I wouldn't let MIL to look after my cat let alone a child! and OH's mum.. it would depend on the circumstances!

    I'd rather put my head in a blender than go on holiday with any of them!

    THIS IS MY MIL it is a bit loud..
