The other reason for looking at Argos is that I have a giftcard for there burning a hole in my purse! We got it when we bought the Dyson.

That's good news weezl, all systems go then!

OH just told Isla she's silly for leaving my present in the other room, I've got a card and a compact mirror etched with 'The best mum in the world' and a pic of me and Isla! He wrote some lovely things in the card too which made me cry

And I feel like a very horrid person for being a little upset they say Mum not Mummy, especially as their so nice :o

Thats like if you are up north though, I will be known as mam and mammy and you cant get cards that say that at all, I think Tesco might have done a range last year but can'r swear by it. I mean it cant be hard for card makers to add mam and mammy their cards surely!

Aless come and join me in the civil service you will be hated by many on this board though lol

3onitsway - thanks for asking, I was just very quiet yesterday, had only had one hour sleep and I was in a lot of pain yesterday (my ribs are killing me for some reason?) and just feeling fed up and I didnt want to come on and whinge some more cos I worry you will all be getting sick of me and I am not even meant to be on this thread yet

Tia that floor plan is ace, I deffo think it would work, even think you could get a little en suite in the master bedroom in the bottom right hand corner

Awww Weezl no dont worry about it I was just in a right mood yesterday, turns out my mate didnt go into labour lol

Angelfairy are the games in the right folder in the window of the micro sd card? I think they need to be in a folder called games? (I cnat remember off the top of my head) but I can porbs do a screen print of what the info looks like on my sd card?

Awww OH has just woke up and wanted me to go back to bed, but I am getting cramps in my belly and back and they will only keep me awake, I will attempt to snooze through them on sofa, I dont like going back to bed if I am not 100% sure I will get to sleep cos I dont want to wake OH when he has work

So yeah I am getting period pain cramps again and sore back again but I am not even getting my hopes up lol

I am at MW on tues for a sweep (which I really didnt want to have ) so I will just see what happens there.

I am going to attempt to snooze on sofa once i've taken some painkllers

LOL morning, any tips for insane belly cramp and bad back?

Ive just had a lovely hot bath but then the back hurt again as soon as I got out

The pains are weird, they dont feel like contractions as such so I dunno what to do about them?

Just watched dancing on ice results .... gutted

would things work out for you with that? it really made a differene to us as it meant we could get a nice house and afford to live in it! rather than being stuck in a 2 bed with 4 kids and on a 8 year waiting list!

I don't know what it's like in Scotland, but I'd have to be pretty desperate before I claimed housing and council tax benefit again - it was a complete nightmare so we would have to be entitled to a lot for it to be worth the hassle. It took months for us to get our first payment (it only came after we wrote to our MP), we were constantly having to provide them with evidence of our income, the amount we got changed almost every week and twice they incorrectly stopped our benefit without warning. The first time they stopped it, we made a formal complaint and they made us the example in training (because we were complicated) but they still managed to do it again. It was just endless work and hassle.

I didn't ring the police so i don't think it would make any diff housing wise cos i can't prove it actually happened? Well apart from having a lot less hair than i did this morning, and i blue shiny eye and cheekbone

You can still phone the police about it now. Obviously the ideal would be to phone straight away but you are still allowed to report it later and it's not like it was weeks ago and you have the injuries to prove it. I would suggest you turn up at the housing office as soon as you can (so that they see the black eye and because I am concerned about you and think it is urgent that they should move you) and tell them that your ex turned up and did it and that you really need to move.

Thanks Fitz, Sami and all... How can i report it now though? It's already happened and he's gone? Don't wanna look a fool but a ref no would be good to give to the council re. move?

Since he's gone now so it's not an emergency, I would either phone the local police phone number or turn up at a local police station.

Morning all

Rhys woke up at 5am-something again this morning -fourth night running He's no trouble when he wakes up, just needs his dummy putting back in, but he shouts out, then by the time we've got to his room, he's almost fast asleep again - it's like we're imagining him shouting out! :cool:

OH woke me up before he left for work. Can't remember what I wanted to get up so early for now though

We're off to get Rhys weighed this afternoon - finally found a baby clinic with an afternoon session Other than that, no plans here for today, just chilling. Amazingly we haven't got any appointments for Rhys all week!

Hope everyone has a good day xx

You won't know what to do with yourself all week elle!

Off to MHall this morning for my dad to get measured for his suit for my sisters wedding. He's treating us all to our dinner too

Hoping to hear back from Avon today about getting started. DH and I said this morning that if this had happened in 3 years time we would be £600 per month better off then as there'd be no loans or child maintenance to pay out! Still, as long as we have enough for the essentials and a little bit spare then that's good enough for me. We've got our holiday booked in July, fortunately most of our days out are being paid for with clubcard deals vouchers

Caitlyn is asleep thankfully - she has such a snotty nose and find's it hard to feed and breathe so gets frustrated. It woke her at 5.45 this morning whereas normally she'd sleep until about 7.

Going to put her down then get off and wash my hair before I pick mum and dad up. Oh that's another thing, dad told me on Saturday that mum is thinking of going on evenings at work so she could have C in the daytime while I'm at work :eek: He told me that as he brought yet another empty whisky bottle out of her bedroom! I don't know what planet she's on. The whole reason I got a childminder for Josh was because of her smoking and drinking.

Not feeling so good at the moment, so I'm going to keep my head down for a while.

Took the boys to the Sunderland match yesterday and really enjoyed that though, although was gutted when Man City equalised in injury time.
