oh Glam I was at m/care on saturday and I thought after you've been there nip to halfords and ask them to check it, it's only about 3 doors down :cool:

I went to Halfords first & the guy said it was fitted fine - he said its supposed to be reclined & not upright but he did have a fiddle with the belt & made it tighter.
So I didnt bother going to M'care.

Spent £120 in ASDA :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Got pushchair, 2 boxes of wipes, loads of snacks & desserts & a TT cup. Also got beer & some food but not a lot!
The walker thats in the baby event is the one OH got at car boot for J.

still feel ill & now I feel all crampy too am so not needing the texts from OH about what we can do now we have no lodger _pale__pale_

Our TCs are about £21 a week I think - no idea, can never remember!
combined income will be £48K

Hope the blood test went ok. When I had the fasting glucose one at the hospital, I'd nothing to eat overnight then been at the hospital all morning, so I went to McD's for a pig out on the way home :rotfl:

I took food with me to my GTTs and was actually eating it as I walked out of the ward.

Does anyone know enough about TC's to know if you get more if in receipt of income based JSA? I might be gearing up for a fight that doesn't exist, maybe they owe us even ???
off to find the calculator thing I think.

I imagine that if they think you were egtting income based JSA then they would have been assuming a very low income and therefore that you would get more tax credits. When I was first married I didn't get income based JSA because OH earned too much and he had earned below the threshold where they start reducing your tax credits the previous year.

WM - write a word that you want to be a Link, highlight it and then click the little globe and link symbol above - then you paste the link into there.


Hope that makes sense.

All this talk of TCs, I havent even seen a renewal pack or anything for ages....need to change it soon as back to work and 2 of them in nursery soon.....

Natalie - I would definitely use that squishy flooring if I was doing a play area, not only do you get the cats pooing in the bark, you have to buy more every year to top it up because it blows away and also disintegrates...what your doing sounds lovely:)

I have just ordered our turf and blue crushed slate for around the decking at the back...we are also seperating the patio so the dog will be confined to the patio and not allowed on the grass:D no room for a seperate play area though so swing and trampoline will be on the grass (maybe;))

Sami - Sounds a nightmare, with TC's....if they had you down as JSA 'on top' of your dh's income then it may well work out you owe them! If they had you down as JSA but with no other income then you shouldn't owe them anything as you would be entitled to the maximum!! I really think you need to give them a ring asap.... I hope you get it sorted out.

Sami: Income based isn't counted as earnings but contribution based is. So if they have put you down as income based you will be getting overpaid by TC's. I had the same problem and if you look on making a complaint about overpaid TC's there is the criteria you have to meet for them to not claim the overpaid amount from you.

Unfortunately they did exactly the same to me. Fortunately i noticed when they sent the revised notice though, rang them and they said it didn't make any difference (damn stupid phone monkeys!), end of yr notice said overpaid by £1200! I argued it and the amount got written off as I told them the details were wrong and they didn't correct it.

Was going to ask your opinion too.....

We went to B&Q this morning, after dropping off the kids got there at about 9.20am and had to be back near home by 10.25 to go to Gymbabes, so had probably 45mins to spend in there looking at garden stuff and picking up a few bits, like a new garden fork, some concrete to stick some bricks back on a wall and just generally have a look round to see if we needed/wanted anything else....anyway we got there and dh started going on about looking at some concrete sealant for his mate....he ended up spending nearly half an hour looking at them and reading the backs of the pots and then finding a roller/brush and bucket to use with it...so that left us 15mins to look at our stuff and pay...I just stormed of and told him to forget it, I don't want the garden stuff etc.etc. and just went and got in the car...
So upshot is, we can't continue with our garden, yet he will be quite happy to go and help his mate do his floors!! He is blaming me, saying if I hadn't of sulked off then we could have still got what we needed but I think he should have picked our stuff first, then if we still had time then we could have looked at his mates sealant.......which btw we have paid for and aren't getting the money back for, also his mate wasn't even bothered about it as he is getting his carpets in next week!!!!

Do you think I am being unreasonable?
