    True blood books Mel?

    TMI below, highlight if you like icky gross stories.

    Amber has had a dirty nappy that she somehow managed to keep clean on the inside, but cover her clothes and the outside of the nappy as well as the clean one. She then threw up all over me, herself, the sofa and rug. I asked DH to get me a basin of water to clean up and he wanders through (after poking at the iPhone (there is NOT an app for vomit removal) first) with the empty basin. !!!!!! am I to do with that you silly man? All the while my arm is covered.

    Chris has enjoyed the rest of his birthday and I have, for the first time, managed to get through his birthday without crying! woohoo!

    Don't know if you 2 know about it but if your TC's come back as more than the basic rate (sorry not explaining very well!) then you can apply for the sure start Maternity Grant but I'm sure it must be claimed within 12 wks of babies birth. Thats £500 so worth a go

    link

    Oooh thanks :)

    Not to sure what they will come back as, the estimate on the phone was £54 a week, but that was with me earning £9k in a year and OH earning £11k.
    But i didn't count ML or anything and they disregard it, so on the form i've only earnt £6k last year :)

    Don't hang about waiting til the TC form comes, get the SS one downloaded and fill as much as you can in ready to go when the TC's get finalised! Theres a page you need to get filled in by the HV too, but they will not process it after the 12 weeks x

    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 :p) but all in all - and compared to what they expected - he's doing muchos fab :D He's not gained much weight (5oz in a month) but he has gained 5cms in six weeks :D 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_

    Glad Rhys continues to do well!

    We're the same as you TC-wise. It must be a pretty wide income bracket.

    Work was good- I really enjoyed being back. Felt like I had never been away. I also found out that I get back 10% of the difference between my usual pay and SMP when I go back, which will be a nice few pennies!

    Henry rolled over back to front. He's been doing back to front for weeks, but this is the first time he's managed the other way. Clever little bubba.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Tia, Yeah Sookie's irritating in the books.... Well done on getting through the day in one piece... And boo to idiot husbands!

    Your tat is nice EA, don't think I'd ever have one though... Your back one is similar to my cousins, but hers is flowers up one side and over one shoulder and stars intertwined and over the other shoulder...

    Mfd, glad to hear about the extended job... Shame they're stringing you along... I went through that kind of boll0x with my job before Aimee and it was nothing but stress the whole time, I ended up leaving for the job that ditched me when I was pregnant... Will we see you soon?

    My baby slept 4-6, ate a whole 1 egg omlette, half a dozen organix carrot sticks and 2 wildlife fromage frais and is now wandering around in a happy mood... She took half a dozen single steps today too!! :D

    Just watching Gamer... Hope it's better than the box, we watched that last night... 'twas pants...
    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.

    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.

    Well done Henry! There will be no stopping him now!

    I'm supposed to be back at work in a fortnight but I have a sneaky suspicion (sp!) that the guy I need to speak to is stuck abroad!
