    Oh no Sami!! If it's their mistake and you can prove it (date and time you called?) then you don't have to pay it back...

    I've got an awful headache, the kind at the back of your eye where you just start to feel sick eventually... Just resorted to paracetamol...

    And I think my baby is trying to take steps... She just walked a couple of steps up the sofa without holding on but with her bum against it for support... Then she stood in front of the jumperoo and took a step before she dropped to the floor for crawling :D (she's laying her head on my foot now and rubbing it... She's suddenly started being ever so loving!)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Wasnt it awesome!!

    I havent been here since friday, I was at my aunties for a belated easter dinner, which was lush, but then I got the dia woo woo when I was there :( I dont think it was the food there though cos I dont think it could have happened that quick?

    So then yesterday I got up at 6 with E and was so tired, so OH got up at 9 and I went back to bed and slept till 2 :eek: I would have slept longer but OH said I had to get up incase I wouldnt sleep at night

    And Ive been up since half 5 with E this morning so I am wrecked, I went to asda at half 8, got back at 10 and E was just waking up in his pram wanting food, he then fell asleep on me after his bottle but everytime I put him down in his cot he cried, so I've been trying to get him down since then and he's finally asleep now.

    BUT my mam and aunty are coming and I bet they wake him up talking lol, and I know my mam is gonna want a cuddle, but I aint waking him up for a cuddle, if he wakes up fair enough but he's not getting woke up when I took so long to get him down

    it should be on the phone bill, shouldn't it? 0845 number, I know I was cutting it fine and I could find it on here, elle was leaving it to the last min like me too :p I know what figures I gave them because I wrote them on the form first, I'm sure it's still in the box of filing still unfiled :o I'm just fuming because I don't see how they can put that when I told them I wasn't receiving any income :confused:

    umm yummy i have finally just managed to get a cuppa and a bacon sarni so naughty but so nice.
    Baby group was ok, I walked in and there were 6 ladies but they were in groups of 2 there children were all 6 months and older. I felt i couldn't butt in as they were talking about their hubbys and arranging to go to places together like the baby show and for lunch etc. They def knew each other before they had kids. Then after about 30 long mins 2 ladies came in with babies the same age as H but apart from how old are they?What are their names etc we didn't speak much as they were also very quiet and we didn't know what to say, we said a few bits but not great conversations but it's a start.
    They weren't my age which doesn't matter as all my friends are older than me, i would like to find someone my own age too.
    What was really good at 11 they came around with toast and juice for the mums. Then there was a session of singing and music so that helps pass the time. H screamed the place down at one point, a 6 month old grabbed him by the cheek and took a good chunk out of his already poorly skin. It bled and looks bad now.
    I tell you what though i didn't like sitting on the floor for 2 1/2 hrs I ache all over. My section scar, tummy and back ached from bending over and i had numb legs and bum.
    We will def keep going though.
    This is my signature!

    Grr at tax credits Sami. I don't trust them at all. Beating a dead horse here but RAWWWWRRRRRRR I hate them.

    Blood tests went okay thanks, Keira was fascinated with my blood splurting in the tubes. Then I scoffed some pick a mix because I decided we would ditch nursery and go see how to train your dragon 3D. Wish we had went to the vue they charged me £16.90 for me and her to see it, and £1.60 for the 3D glasses WHICH vue give you FREE AND they give you child size ones so poor keira had to keep pushing them up her chops.

    Some brat was loudly proclaiming about my smoking outside the shopping center (Class trip out) so I told him that it was drugs I was smoking and 3 seconds breathing in some smoke won't kill him because he probably has cancer anyways.

    Honestly. ILL SMOKE IF I WANT!! Wasn't even blowing it near him, not my fault he CHOSE to come stand next to me. I hate children.

    Ahh Tia. Hope you get better soon too. No fun being an ill mummy, coz you don't get to lie in bed and die.

    I'm feeling a bit better today, woke up hungry rather than sick, but the diawoowoo has hit me today :o

    Tia, how are your parents doing these days? (without the cafe to keep them occupied I mean) :)

    Oh don't get me started on them. Had an argument with DH yesterday because they called up to say they couldn't make it to Christophers party because they were tired, mum was at a dog fair running a stall, so DH got stroppy and started moaning about them. He is right, but unlike him, I know better than to waste my time moaning about them. I love them, but, well, they wouldn't be my circle of friends if you know what I mean. As for how they are getting on, no idea, I don't really listen to them. My brother has a new job anyway in one of the hotel/restaurants near by, but he is a damn good chef.

    nevermind elle, I think the phone bill is my best bet. :)

    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.

    today is quickly becoming a total farce!

    elle, not been searching for the phone bill ;) the lower half has won the hormone battle :( do you think it's ok to use tampons that are in boxes that had a layer dust dust on them and have been in the bathroom cupboard for around 2yrs? should I chuck them and get some new ones asap?

    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)

    Sami not to put a downer on your situ, but they thought that I was a single parent even though I told them I was living with idris (mysteriously couldnt find the phonecall) and he had been on JSA the whole time, so it was easy to check that no-one had been working etc, but they made me pay it all back AND if they hadn't messed up, I would of actually been getting paid more per week. They are basterwards
