    Lol Tara, I had a discussion with my Nan last night about how much more we get in tax credits than D pays in tax so getting a fiver back is no incentive to us...

    Hope Maddy feels better soon!!

    And Mfd, that's half the reason I don't watch the news or believe everything I read...

    Caitlyn just fell asleep in the swing... I need to put her in the pushchair and get her to the Drs without waking her up... What are the chances?!
    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.

    Naff all for us then. Not married, no intention of being. Will get away with the tax credit threshold he is setting. But what? Alex won't be allowed to go to Surestart Centre activities, because we are not deemed "poor enough"?

    What happened to encouraging Mums to stay at home. That £40 a month TC pays for nappies and stuff. I wouldn't mind but we pay so much tax, OH should be able to take my tax allowance if I'm not using it.

    hugs for tia,:( whatever it is, we're here, with hugs and cake.

    And anyone else who needs one :)

    boring questions time:

    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.

    ...

    Erin had her so called 8 week check at 11 weeks and got her 1st jabs at the same time. I asked if we could get it done at 7 weeks but got told I had to wait.

    Got called at 10:45 to say my sing and sign class had been cancelled today - luckily I hadn't left but could have done with the extra sleep after watching the election till 3am. At least Chuka got in (my labour mp) :)

    £140 should be ok. Like any other trade, it's the super cheap ones you have to watch. Just before he retired, he was doing a residency at the Sunderland Stadium of Light and one of the other DJ's they'd booked cheaply turned up with a couple of those traffic light flashing lights that you can get in Argos and two compilation CD's :eek::rotfl:

    :eek: I hope this guy has more than that :D

    Oh, and a q I've been meaning to ask for a while... will you be a practising midwife/midwifery student whilst having babies, or will you finish your family first?

    xxx

    Thanks for the info :)

    Well the plan was, have Lily. Finish SMP in Sept and start college, then do uni year later.

    Now we decided to have another the new plan is.
    Finish SMP in sept, start college whilst pregnant (hopefully) and then take a year out to raise both babies.
    Then start uni in 2012.

    The course im appyling for is 2 evenings a week and OH said he will look after Lily and then the new baby if i have it during the course.

    And i only have to pay £26 because i earnt so little i get housing benefit and its free for people on housing benefit :j:money:
