    Thanks for your help with the nappies last night ladies.

    How is it that when Kezia won't go back to sleep in the middle of the night I could sleep on a washing line, and now that she dropped straight off after a feed and a cuddle I've been wide awake since 3.45am!!! GGRRRR

    Been getting myself wound up about the working tax credits. They couldn't find their !!!!!! with both hands! They now say that they are keeping my £600 that they kept back before, and on top of that are withholding and extra £360 at a rate of £20 per week for the next however many weeks. However, these figures don't add up as far as I can tell. But they are only provisional and I have to wait for the form (which may not arrive until July) before they tell me what they really want to give me.

    They have cut the childcare payment from £32 per day to £14. Now that is one hell of a drop for only a £4k difference in figures. And the money I'm entitled to is around about the same as they were giving me before I went back to work on these KIT days so 6 weeks ago, as far as my tired brain can figure it, I only owe them 6 weeks of childcare over payment and the difference of the £14 per week between what I get now and what I got before when I didn't need childcare.
    Which is not £960. Bloody idiots.

    Anyway, sorry for the whinge. Think I just needed to write it down to see that I'm right. Why it's provisional I've no idea. This damn government seem to make everything 10 times harder than it needs to be.

    Hope you are all sleeping well and it's just me up at such a stupid hour.

    just called the mini pill .. ive never bleed after sex before so i was alittle worried .. but this pill is really screwing with my body it just never settle while i was on the depo so docs suggested implant but to cover me til i could get the implant installed he put me on the mini pill .. my periods have really calmed down but im getting more aches and tender (up top inside sorry for the TMI) .. never been on it so wondered if anyone had experinced the same x

    I didn't get on with the mini pill at all. Had too many side effects - feeling sick, sore boobs, spotting etc. Then I started bleeding with hellish pains, and it got heavier and heavier until I was soaking through a thick pad in about an hour, so I had to go to the out of hours doctor for something to stop it :o I've been scared of mini pills since then.

    I'm good at having reactions to drugs though. Had to try a few normal pills until I settled on Cilest which is fine and the only side effect is serious bloating in the few days before I'm due and my IBS plays up a bit, but I can live with that.

    Awww - Happy Birthday Keira xx

    I used to get into the match at Roker Park as a junior when I was an adult. Managed to get as a junior when I was 21, married and pregnant :rotfl:

    Crashed last night. Craig went out to a mates house, so I was home alone and sprawled on the sofa watching crap on TV, and went to bed just after 10pm. Slept right through and feel much brighter this morning.

    Got to pop out and do an audit for work this morning, then I'm going to try and get my uni end of course assignment finished - the shop business plan one. Off out for another mystery shop meal this evening.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Happy Birthday Keira:D

    SM - I had all sorts of strange side affects from the mini-pill, tiredness, bleeding loads, then not bleeding for months, sickness, headaches.....But I had to come off the combined pill because of mood swings (and that's putting it mildly)

    I agree that a visit to the docs would be best:)

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Morning all :D

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEIRA :D !!

    I love my mini pill, I'm on cerazette same as buttons, and apart from a few cramps when I would be due, I have no weight gain, no sore boobs, no spotting, no bleeding at all !! :D
    Whereas on every other combined pill I have ever been on, I have had to have a constant supply of painkillers and have been to the doc on call numerous times because it was so bad ... everyone reacts differently to them, so no one elses experience will dictate how you will react to it. If you are worried go to the docs :)

    So ... baby boy wide awake, not so baby girl and her daddy are still fast asleep ...... what will I do this morning ??
    Need to get this house organised before I go away again next Sunday for a week, but have been tidying loads lately and feel like a day off :p
    The two best things I have done with my life
