What's the deal with the CSA? First they write to me saying Amber will get £1.67 a week, and then they put £0.02 into my account.

Why bother putting 2p into my account?? And where's the rest? I was gonna go on a shopping spree! (rollseyes lots)

Another off topic rant.. but..
We got a evening invitation to the wedding do of an old college friend today. I've seen her once since Rhys was born and once while pregnant. They've been living together for years already and the invite says "[they] have requested that gifts be in the form of monetary donations"... Donations to(wards) what exactly?! Even if you're going to spend the money on your gas bill, surely some vague/false/bluff idea might be nice for the guests?! :cool:

That sounds really rude. It would make me cross to get an invite with that written in it.

I don't think people should ask for gifts/money in the invitation. It assumes the guests will buy a present. I think it's nicer to wait until guest ask what you would like for a gift and then let them know. We didn't mention gifts at all in our invite.

When my mum has her, they stand at the window and wave bye-bye so she knows I've gone and she's fine all day, so I thought that was the way to go with nursery.

I always make a point of saying goodbye rather than sneaking off. They need to learn that sometimes Mammy has to go, but she always comes back.

A very sad day here in MFD towers. My uncle passed away last night. He was 93 and had lived a very long and full life, it was very peaceful, he passed in hospital in no pain.

Sorry to hear that. Thinking of you xx

*hugs* to all the poorly people and babies, and hope everyone feels better soon.

Charlotte was fine playing out and she really enjoyed herself.

Her hair is getting really long and it's a bit flyaway, so I tried putting a bit of conditioner on the ends and it looks much neater. She was really excited about having conditioner on and had to come down and tell Dad immediately

I love pokemon!!!

On that note, I'm off to watch True Blood

Someone asked about boots vouchers earlier (Elle?) I had 2 lots of £2 gift cards come through from a product test I did so you don't need a fiver on a card

Also, I had the chicco winter stroller for Aimee and it was a perfectly adequate buggy... Not as good as my Maclaren Techno XLR... And nowhere near the Oyster... But better than the Winnie the Pooh Hauk buggy I had for Aimee prior to the chicco one... The Hauk one was a nightmare to push and had a turning circle of a P&O ferry!!

Em, I had some garden furniture from Tesco last year on a sales glitch, one of the chairs broke about 6 weeks later and I rang about it, they didn't have anymore in stock but they offered to collect it for a full refund or give me 10% back which I went for because I liked the furniture and didn't want the hassle of returning it... The refund should have been about £2 but more than a fiver went it which was a bit of a result! Customer services were really good too...

Tia, hope Amber has a quiet night for you.

Glam, hope OH stops being a !!!!!! for you!
