Mazc the renew things get sent in batches aparently, mine came today.

one of the many annoying things is there's no figures on the thing :mad: It says OH works 40hpw, I'm getting IB JSA and Chris is at a CM that costs nothing.

I'm only gonna call 2mo after I've got my paperwork ready (nee kids in bed really to find it all) I'm sure I would have noticed a mistake but it was sent when Ed was tiny so I wasn't exactly on my best form mentally then.

Afternoon... Just had a little play on that tax credits calculator... I'm worried about how much we're going to lose when Caitlyn turns 1... Don't think it will be too bad though... But then you can never tell what they're going to pay can you...

Have you called them yet Sami?

I'm a bit annoyed anyway... I walked Aimee and her friend back from school, Aimee wanted to play at her friends house but I had to get back home sharpish because that woman was supposed to be coming to collect the stuff so I had to leave Aimee behind when I would normally just stay for a cuppa and a gossip... The woman rang me at the time I was expecting her to come to tell me that she wasn't coming, someone else is and she hasn't been in touch with me at all... And to top it off, Caitlyn's fallen asleep... She's bound to wake up when I transfer her to the pram to go and fetch Aimee!!

Do you think I am being unreasonable?

No sounds totally reasonable to me. But I am a stroppy cow
Sounds like most men though, everyone else comes first.

I just bought these and these . Just need my little 'un to actually get up off his backside so he can show the off, when the sun actually reappears.

Oh balls, and now I have just noticed i've bought the wrong flipping size in one of them. Off to contact the seller.

Thanks WM, it always seems that way! I'm sure he does put us first, but at times like that it is hard to remember when....It's so annoying because we have loads of prep to do before going away on Saturday and could have got a good start today, kai slept for over 2hrs after gymbabes:)

i am now ill i ache from head to toe and my stomach is churning, managed to sleep most of the the afternoon and laze around. how r u now Tia???

Sami thats crap about TC! have u phoned yet??

Somnium

Csh - we don't earn that much i'd say about 34k combined but now bubs is here I won't be earning that as it was full time, so I hopefully should get something.

Fitzio

Som - apply straight away. I have only just applied because I was earning full pay and thought I wouldn't get anything as not paying for childcare yet, but apparently you can still get something even whilst earning full wages. I should have applied months ago. I think the threshold is something like £66k or £77k joint income before you aren't entitled to anything.

Som, we have similar income (slightly more even) here and get £25 a wk. They'll backdate it to tahlie's birth

Afternoon all..

*hugs* for Sami

If it helps anyone, our tax credits were based on income of £45k and we get £80ish a month. I told them I was losing £15k being on SMP and it didn't alter the amount, still in the same income bracket :cool:

Consultant said all is fine with Rhys. Obviously there's issues (eyes, kidneys and his reflexes are a little tighter than they should be but we all agree that's him tensing because she's hitting him with a stick ) but all in all - and compared to what they expected - he's doing muchos fab He's not gained much weight (5oz in a month) but he has gained 5cms in six weeks Still following his own lines on the charts well enough so that's fine He needs a mega blood test at the end of this month which won't be much fun but needs must _pale_

Glamazon

Glad appointment went well Elle

I just had an hours doze (can't call it a nap really as I had a little wriggler sleeping on my chest :cool:)

Sami - hope you get it sorted out and you don't owe them anything.

Caz - sorry you are ill too

Well, the cramps were justified - didn't think AF was due for another week *shrugs*
(kinda glad really cos means I want get mauled when we go to bed )
