    Its a huge bracket, I worked it out once when I was bored on ML and the baby was never coming. I think i worked out it was something like 27-48 was all the same or something equally as mental.

    Oooo that's not very encouraging...thought we might get a wee bit more money for this year b/c of my ML and DH's slightly lower wage last tax year. But guess not! Ho hum...shouldn't complain really as we didn't get any sort of money before Finn so lucky to be getting something really.

    Yay for steps and rolling over! :D

    Would these be the correct True Blood books?

    I'm not too arsed about the buggy, better it clutters up your place than mine lol... Erm, can't remember what we're doing this weekend but I'll ask D as soon as he comes down from putting the baby to bed... (Could be a while, we've deviated from the routine for a few nights plus she had a mammoth late nap so who knows how it's going to go!)

    ETA, D's doing overtime Sat morning so you could come over then? Or Sunday afternoon anytime... He can't remember any plans being made so looks like we're free lol...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Gorgeous pic SS :)

    Kindof and Tia, you should totally read the true blood books... I'd so do Eric! (Twice :p) Bill's a tit...

    I ave the first two but havent read them yet I was worried they were going to spoil the programme

    I really like Bill :( but Eric is very nommy too

    Som the fairies came today, thank you very much :) Ive had to sort out E's clothes as well, so many of them are too small :(

    How long does CHB take?

    Tia LOL I know True Blood is very raunchy, OH watches it with me

    Tia http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Boxed-Sookie-Stackhouse-Vampire/dp/0575095385/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271707301&sr=1-1

    Does anyone else us Aptamil Comfort, if so did your LO's pumps start to really stink, and I mean stink, he smells like something OH would produce

    I think the tax credit bracket is more than that, it deffo goes up to 58k cos I worked them out for my brother and he would get the £20 a week and they earn 58k so they would get the same as me and OH and we earn 34k

    Ive had a nightmare day, E's pumps have been waking him up and hes been crying and he was awake from 10 till half 3 it was draining for both of us, I knew he was tired but just couldnt get him to sleep, he would sleep on my chest for like half an hour max but then wake up, thankfully my mam came and somehow he slept on her for 2 hours lol

    Then we fed him at 5, he went back to sleep and he was sick all over his basket :(

    He then wiped out again at half 5 and has jsut woke up for bottle, so hopefully he will go sraight to sleep and we can all go to bed

    I'm just after some advice on newborn nappies.

    I know it's a bit like how long is a piece of string but can anyone give me a rough idea of how many packs of newborn nappies (size 1) and how many newborn size 2 I would expect to get through? Just debating whether I need to stock up on any more but have literally no idea how quickly you would expect baby to grow!
