Afternoon

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

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)

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

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.
