Oh Beenie, (your) Amber looks so much like your DS! ```Those HUGE blue eyes!

Beenie, your DS is such a cutie! And Amber does look alot like him

SS, she wouldn't give certain info out for some reason. She said babies need their eggs to be hard and not runny and a lady asked at what age can they have them runny.
The Weaning lady just said "Oh im not telling you that"

Surely its better to tell us instead of us guessing and potentially harming our babies with evil runny eggs?!!! hehe.

Everyone always goes on about how much they look alike I love it :j

Looking through my old photobucket stuff and i came across this video, it's dated 13/3/07 so he would have been 3. Hope no one minds me spamming with my stuff

If i remember rightly we were looking at pics on the laptop and i said in a funny voice "oh there's NANA" and he found it hilarious :rotfl:

She also worked full time whilst her mum looked after the baby within a few days of its birth.

In the UK people are legally obliged to take at least two weeks maternity leave after giving birth (or four weeks if they work in a factory).

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)

What rubbish. Alice just started choosing to use cutlery of her own accord because we made it available with every meal if we were using it. I remember one of our friends being really impressed by Alice's cutlery use as it was better than her children who are two and nearly five yeras older than Alice. And given that babies who eat purees manage to cope with solid foods later on I can't see any basis for her other claim. I wish (with lots of things) people would just say they don't really know anything about it rather than spouting misinformation.

It did succeed in sc-rewing many small companies over though - speaking from bitter experience.

I thought I saw at one stage that Child Benefit would be restricted for higher earners too but I can't find any reference to it. I would have liked to see that happen (even though it would probably mean me not getting it) and I would also liked to have seen the winter fuel allowance restricted for pensioners with high incomes too....far too many people getting money that they simply don't need.

They decided that it would be too costly to means test CB so have decided to freeze it instead to save money....'cos that has the same effect, doesn't it :mad:.

Wow that's a bit mean reducing backdating to a month! When does that start from?? I wont be impressed as I only sent mine off yesterday lol

I think it's from April 2011 or 12. It does seem a bit unreasonable to expect people who've just had their first child to claim within a month - especially since you have six weeks to register the birth.
