good move; tell her that until the Chancellor tells me personally, it ain't happening! FWIW I think she's talking about Incapacity Benefit which is prob gonna be phased out at some point in the distant future (over four years is the timeline being bandied about).

I just checked her facebook cos she's one of these to update her status with every other breath and sure enough she's got it as:

Ok lets see. Single mum with a baby. Child tax credits being taken out, that's £64 a week less money coming in. Income support being frozen, never going up! To cap it all, child benefit stopping at thirteen instead of eighteen. I'm screwed. CONSERVATIVE = POVERTY! To all the people who voted for the evil low income haters, i pray bad things in your lives!

I can't be bothered correcting her, it's got like 30-odd comments with people believing it

I'm sending babba vibes in your direction :male::female:

Hello, just caught up, Ben is ok thanks MDW, as I haven't heard from the hospital then that means all is ok apparently so PHEW!!!

Re TC and IS, I reckon the benefit system is in for a shake up, don't know what but the Tories won't stand for shelling out loads, if any of you are old enough to remember the last Tory Government the gap between poor and rich was so huge I feel sick just thinking about it.

Not good WI news, I'm afraid SM! I put on 0.5lb, but I'm actually quite happy with that as I ate everything in sight last week on holiday. Back on it now though (except tonight). Will pop over to BWSC in a sec. It is quiet on there at the mo.

Yeah for Ben's ankle - hopefully it's just a bad sprain, I've done that and it's hurts just as much. How long until you go on your hollibobs.

AWWWWWW Jack made a Father's Day card at Creche :A It's his foot prints with the most beautiful poem inside about following Daddy that I welled up when I read it! It's hidden in the boot of the car atm. Need to get a Tobelerone and hope the mug I ordered turns up!

Aless if you're about, how's your boob??

I'm trying to decide if I'm hungry for tea seeing as I only had lunch (fish 'n' chips) at 4, or whether I should just go to bed.
