According to the calculator we've been getting around £350 a month too much!
That's over £4k :eek:

Sami - thanks for that don't know what I was expecting but that setsy mind at ease am sure an ultrasound won't be an issue.

Eek at TCs! Have no idea about them but they sound a mare! I wonder if I'll qualify for them when my smp starts cos ATM the website says no.

Nothing at all? Is your OH on a good wage then? (Sorry if that sounds cheeky, but we are £58k combined and still get them)

We moved into a dump a couple of years ago and after finishing the house its time for us to tackle the garden :eek:

its quite a big garden and i was looking for some help, we've already done a patio at the top for bbq, furniture etc, then were having a new lawn put down probs about 2/3 of garden, then the last 3rd we are splitting, one bit is going to be for growing veg's and stuff and the other we want as a play area to put swing, slide etc.

what kind of flooring (not the right word haha) would you put down?? or have you down??? i thought play bark might be best, but theres a lot of cats around and dont want to be finding poo in it all the time :mad: or more to the point dont want Am finding poo in there all the time :eek:

any ideas????

We are going for bark. I have a big dog so don't get the cats in. Next doors cats are too scared lol
Have no idea what I'd use instead of bark tho sorry. What about those bouncy tile things they have at swing parks?? No idea of cost/availability sorry

You must get bare minimum though? I was on vaguely around that much last year and got £2/month or something? IIRC.

It's a lot more when you have a child under 1 (Bruno, maybe that's why you remember £2/month), so definitely worth filling out a claim even if you ultimately don't qualify.

Nope, it was a fiver odds a week with 1 child. Its £22 a week now with 2 and I'm on SMP. Not a huge amount compared to what we pay in tax granted
