    Beenie - :mad: :mad: £1.67!! That won't even buy a packet of nappies. So what, he's only earning about £16 a week then? What utter nosh.

    It's such a rubbish day, I hate rain! I have so much stuff to do, no incentive to do it. My hair is fushty looking but is there much point washing it to get it soaked in the rain on the way to nursery?

    Supposed to be going to the cinema tonight. To see Avatar, but not looking forward to seeing that!

    Well according to everyone I bump into, I am ready to give birth anyday now, either that or it MUST| be twins:mad: But other than that bump is fine, well probably gets a bit annoyed with K jumping all over it and elbowing it at randome points:cool:
    How rude I don't know why people think it is okay to pass comment just because someone is pregnant. (People suggested I was having twins too.)

    They're saying he's on benefits so the maximum he has to pay is £5 but his ex wife will get a grand total of £3.33 for their two!!

    He's been working since before i applied - but for like, 2 weeks he signed on cos the agency had nothing for him. :mad:

    I had the "Is it twins" comment too, that really annoyed me as it was actually twins until I m/c one of them. The thing is, I didn't even look like I was pregnant with twins, I was just fat :rotfl:

    Susan, perhaps people asked you because you are quite dainty (I mean that in a nice way :) you know me, Im rubbish with words) so a big pregnant bump stands out more on you? Just a theory :)

    Beenie, ring them up and ask them to reassess it... It's all you can do if you know he's working really...

    I had the twins comments too... I was the size of a house... But then I was before I got pregnant too...

    The worst for me, when Caitlyn was born someone from church said "I didn't even realise" I mean, I know I'm fat and everything... But it was still quite bleeding obvious!

    Need to go meet my Nan... Was supposed to be going to a toddler group but my baby brother rang to tell me about his wife's 20week scan and we were on the phone 1hr17mins!!!
    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.

    oh my maybe i shldn't read the board right before going back to sleep! Sami, i for some crazy reason dreamed that i was laying with ur Chris to get him off for a nap, and he was mad that it wasn't u, so he made himself sick and puked all down me! :eek: weird, i know :p
    funny too because he got in with me last night so was lying with me at the time
    I'vre just realised we have a sixth tooth here - we are getting one every 6 weeks or so - at this rate she will be 3 before she has them all!
    and whats wrong with that :p

    Has anyone been to a really nice Haven site? My recent memory is of one in North Wales that was absolutely minging! Surely they're not all like that?

    We've been to loads but Quay West near Cardigan Bay was the most beautiful setting ever. We saw dolphins every day. :D

    It's always blimming something though isn't it? The jabs always knocked us out for a week then we got back, then it was teething and then it seems the weaning.
    No idea what it is now - we have no sign of teeth despite being able to see hie teeth quite clearly under his top gum probably since he was born!

    Am v. jealous of Keiren's 2 teeth!!

    Oooooo but we do have hair growing - slowly! :j

    we are jealous here as well of Kieren's 2 teeth.

    glad the hair is grown, Kian's is growing loads now. must be the food he's eating. he's also discovered the more he rocks himself in his rocking chair he can cross the room or move it around. apparently its great fun :rotfl:


    sami- thianks for the input for our all-terrain. a lot seem to be fixed wheel, so that will have to do the PIL.
