    Hey BM, your Idris looks nothing like I imagined lol!
    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.

    Actually I got her weighed 2 weeks ago and she had dropped to 15lb 15oz but that was the week after her teeth came in and she had diarrhoea for 2 days. Didn't go last week as hubby bumped her head twice so was covering up (that's a joke btw, I was just too busy(although he did bang her head)!). Will try and go this Wed.

    Elijah didn't reach 16.5lbs til 9 months if I remember correctly! So you're doing fine :p

    Thanks for congrats Tara :) v early days still.

    Sorry for worm-can-poking - this being talkative lark has its pitfalls I see. Personally I a) pay loads of tax b) wish I earned more :cool: !

    Doctor's tomorrow for OH's first pg appointment and also having E's cheek looked at - what has always seemed like "very rosy cheeks" may possibly be some sort of eczema or similar, it's got more intense in the last couple of weeks and feels rough and stuff now :( hopefully easily treated!

    I thought the limit for course fees was something like £15k? I'd call that good money for part time? :o

    Caitlyn was about 9m when she hit 16lb too... :D

    Hope all goes well for Mrs M tomorrow, and E's rosy cheeks... Have you tried introducing a moisturising routine? ;)

    I hate the benefits system in this country. Where is the reward for working up from the bottom, paying to put yourself through univesity, doing ridiculous hours to get on and prove yourself. The reward is they take more and you're entitled to diddly squat. Work less and they just top it up. What's the point? You don't have enough, get another job. Why should you have some of mine. My opinion, and like it or lump it, and I'm not sorry!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    SM wouldn't you get your fees paid? Cos i would, being on a low income and all..

    (i did a ECDL course a couple of years ago that was funded)

    i did that course too! forgot most of it now like lol, i got it free and the qualifying benefits to get courses free were, wtc and housing benefit, i got wtc at the time.

    I plan to go to college in sept, am hoping to do either teaching assistant or access to teaching and go to uni. I am majorly skint at the mo but i tell myself its only temporary, and hold on to the hope that after ive gone back to college and got myself a career i'll be able to buy a house, and finances will be more stable ect.
