MSE Parents Club Part 12

Morning lovely Weezl Not much happened at Alfie's 8 week check and there are no associated jabs so if I couldn't make it til 11 weeks for TNO I wouldn't worry.

Not sure I've seen thresholds for tax credits but when I phoned to request the form the lady went through a few questions and then gave me an estimate of what we'll get. Haven't heard back since sending it though so don't know how accurate it was.

Morning all..

*hugs* Tia We're here if/when you need us xx

I had a fab time last night with work friends but we did have one of those moments when I had to slam my hand on the table to shut my friend up instantly while she was mid-rant about someone who I'd just realised was sat about 2mtrs behind her! :eek: Thankfully, he left after about an hour and my friend got to finish her rant

Rhys was good for OH apart from a crying fit ten minutes before I got in so I took him and he fell asleep on me almost instantly

Rhys is going to sleepover at my parents' tonight. No real reason except it's OH's weekend off so I'd be the one to get up with Rhys like I have done every morning since I can remember and I want a lie in too! Will go pick him up again tomorrow lunchtime after I've stayed in bed til gone 11am

Hope everyone has a good day xx

weezl, our appt last about 5 min and had very little use, so unless u have any real concerns, i can't see why it would matter much.

We live on the border of our constituency and dh is annoyed because the one next door was quite a battleground but ours is solidly held by a Cabinet minister. All this hubbub about hung parliament is a bit silly when other countries have one every election

Just looked up our local results... Grimsby and Cleethorpes are traditionally a tiny dot of red among a sea of blue in our part of the country, but Gy has been held on to by Labour by 700ish votes (both got 10,000 something) and Clee has been lost to blue. We're an even teenier dot of red now!

I looked at the web news thing on my phone while still in bed and it said Conservatives had 309 seats but BBC only says 285... I'm confused!

I think 309 was the prediction elle. Looks fairly likely as well

*hugs* Tia - you know where we are if you need us.

Still all Labour seats in the Durham area. No surprise there then

Off to hospital this morning to get my sinuses looked at.

They are saying now that some stations closed at 10pm regardless of queues and others that stayed open later to let everyone vote! Am sure there will be repercussions! Why did everyone wait til 9.55pm to vote??

If there were three hour queues they could have just turned up after seven.

Is there anything I can do about the sores on Erin chin caused by constant dribble?

We use sudocrem or coconut oil. (Alice doesn't dribble any more but she licks her hand and then rubs her face which has the same effect.)

the baby check at 6-8 weeks, can anyone think of a reason it would be bad for it not to be til 11 weeks? (is there an important jab, I can't remember:rotfl:) surgery have requested us at 9 weeks but we can't make it, or the one after. So I'm thinking of going earlier than 9 weeks.

Did anyone bother with cruising shoes or did you all wait for 12 steps and go for 'proper shoes'?

Other than entitled to, which is a bit hit and miss, does anyone have a link to a decent explanation of tax credit thresholds?

The first jabs are supposed to be 11 weeks. Some people have had them refused if they haven't had the check but it probably depends on the doctors. I would phone up and explain you can't make those weeks and see what they say.

I don't understand the point of cruising shoes. Even when they can walk it's better for them to only wear shoes outside both from a practising walking point of view and from a foot growth/development point of view.

Our Labour candidate didn't even bother to reply to me. (And I contacted her by two different methods.) She's now going to get a letter expressing my concern that she is not going to bother about constituents since she couldn't be bothered to reply during the election. We did go under 50% Labour for the second time in forty years.

i love that the first Green MP is from brighton. :rotfl: how predictable!
