    eeek, I'd rather give birth again than get a tattoo that big! :eek: I was with DH when he got his 2nd one (and LAST, I have firmly told him)...he's a huuuuge baby and was totally suffering even though it was about 1/3 the size of yours, EA.

    Weird, we were just watching London Ink for the first time the other night, too...(I didn't know there was one!)

    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:

    We looked into various options and bark was the cheapest. Those play mats were really expensive a few years back!

    For bark, you need to buy a weed proof membrane to go down first to stop weeds growing in it. It keeps things like dandelions and stuff growing, but odd little weeds sprout from blown seed, but they are quickly picked out.

    You might need to top it up with a couple of bags each year as it disintergrates. The bark really stinks bad when you first put it down but the smell goes within a day or so.

    Not had a problem with cat poo, as cat's don't hang around long in our garden. Dog's have poo'ed in it, but I'm used to picking that up anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

    I don't like tattoos and can't imagine me ever getting one :o
    Here I go again on my own....

    regards the CT...i think everyone should fill in the form and even if you get £5 a week its better in your pocket than filling the government's pockets

    from the looks of it we wont get WTC but because of childcare we will get more CT.

    i'll take whatever they offer :D

    Kindof, true blood was great! (season 2 on FX?) But big head vamp is planning something, he can't be that nice....

    Sami, if the tampons themselves are ok, use them. (but if you are anything like me it will takes ages to relearn how to use the bloody things)

    Yeah thats the one, Godric, yeah I think he is planning something, but I think its his own death, what I have made up in my head from the "next week on true blood" is that he wants to commit suicide, remember the clip when him and eric are standing on a roof? and Godric says to eric, "its been 2000 years" so I figure he has had ehough and wants to die or my other made up event is that he is letting Eric go? you know how the maker has to let his vamps go?

    On the tax credits front I was under the impression you have to pay it back regardless of who's error it is :(

    Love the tat EA :) Im not allowed anymore lol OH wont let me, I have 3 already

    TC's are wangs. If they overpay you, they sometimes say not to pay it back until a few months off. They wouldn't accept SIL's overpayment back until April, even though they overpaid in Dec 09 lol.

    We have ordered our wedding rings today, and then we had Chiquitos. Noms :D

    Thank you :)

    Caz, that sounds horrible. Can you get yourself an early night? I think imodium can cause bad breath because you're still holding onto the stuff that would be flushing itself out of you if you hadn't taken it IYSWIM.
