They're reducing backdating of tax credit new claims and changes of circumstances to one month.

Also from 2012 if you have a drop in income they don't change your tax credits unless it drops by more than £2500.

Page 40 and 41 of the complete budget seems to give the most detail.

havent caught up but bm ((hugs)) to you and please go docs if you're worried ...

been busy today looking at bikes for zoe for her birthday as we're thinking of getting her it now as riding a bike in snow is not fun but not sure so opinions would be nice ...

hugs :coffee: (or should that be ice cold water in this weather) and to everyone who needs them x

We had bikes for Christmas when we were kids SM...and never thought to say 'it's winter!!'

We bought DSS a bike for Christmas too a couple of years ago and he loved it.


Edit - am relating it to Christmas because Zoe's birthday is December

I lived on a hill too - never stopped us!

A bike is for life, not just for Christmas

I was talking about the one where she was having a dig about you not working :mad: I loved that she assumes her kid (that's not born yet?) will go to bed and get up at a time she's decided on, ha I hope she has a child that hates sleep

Not born yet no, she's also only FF cause it will be easier to wean her baby when she goes back to work early.

oh how poo!!! FIL has called to say his insurance won't let him add OH as a driver because they don't cover anyone under 26yo!! !!!!!!! what's wrong with us 25y olds Our policy doesn't cover us on other cars so we are now back to square one!

Isn't that age-ist?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Wait until she is...or worse still she is throwing your mobile down the toilet, posting your knickers through the letterbox or as my bundle of joy did last night....trying to climb inside the tumble dryer :eek:

When i was little i put our cat in the tumble drier and locked him in, mum didn't realise and switched it on and all she heard was "Meeeooowww!" *thump thump thump* :rotfl:
I also cried when my hamster died as my uncles wouldnt fix him like they did my barbies

I think your classes are the same as ours. We got a free Tommee Tippee cup at the weaning one- not as good as a blender but it's the best cup for them (although the messiest). We got to try banana and avocado at our class- it was yum. We talked about BLW too. I found it a useful class,although I get a bit stressy with the 'detail' people who ask a million questions about everything. I am not a 'detail' person .

Off for a walk in the sun.

It was only an argos value hand blender, still better than not having on though We also got a surestart tippy cup and some of those door things that stop the door closing on tiny fingers
We tried loads of baby food, some was nice

:eek: I assumed she was talking about a child she already had. Maybe her views will change once she actually has the child.

She has had a child, she died. So she says, she has told me and SIL two different storys, the dates dont add up and it was all a massive secret and i was NOT to tell anyone as no one knew she had a baby, now she freely tells all. She also worked full time whilst her mum looked after the baby within a few days of its birth. Also i've known her since i was 15, and i've never known of any pregnancy. DShe died in spain apparently, the exbf took baby to spain at 15mo and had it in a car with no seatbelt, crashed and she had to fly to spain for baby to be buried, wasn't alowed to bring back ashes, even though baby was a british citizen..

Although one of Mr SS's friends requested to be my friend to see the pictures of Molly

My mum asks me to add her friends so they can see pics of Lily... They have never met me or the baby and dont even know us...

Back from baby class, was ok. The woman was very annoying, but hey, i wanted a free blender so i put up with it

She got us to taste her homemade purees and shop bought ones, and basically promoted shop bought ones as being disgusting. I liked them though
She mentioned BLW, but only to say "Some woman wrote a book on something called BLW, but i think its rubbish and kids that are BLW dont know how to use cutlery, also they never experiance pureed food, and they need to experiance it as we as adults have pureed food (mash, gravy, jelly, etc)

But now im home and its very hot
Blank bit up there ^

LOL - somebody better tell my boy that he is no longer allowed to eat mash, gravy or jelly!!!

And worst still he is not allowed to use a fork anymore!!!

Just let me clear customs first :rotfl::rotfl:
