    Fee's (which you get free no matter what), loan and childcare (though I think this is paid monthly directly to your childcare provider). I don't actually know how it works tbh, if you were thinking about it call SAAS or your college/Uni financial office who can explain it better than me.

    I was told that even if I didn't need the loan, to take it all, shove it in a savings account and pay it off at the end of the course because I had to take the maximum loan amount to get childcare. They said childcare was £80 per week, but nobody could tell me if that was per child or what?

    Thanks, I remember from being at college years ago that you have to take the full loan to be able to claim anything else!

    No. I may or may not have mentioned that a Wife can wish her Husband a happy birthday whenever she feels like it.

    I was very polite, I deleted the first one of 'who the !!!! do you think you are telling her she cant wish her HUSBAND a happy birthday you skany ho?!' :rotfl:

    (now SS will come to say she is his sister or something, but she lives in Munich so I'm guessing it is that one)

    Remeber the link SS had of the little boy who heard his mum for the first time? Did anyone read the comments on that page? It turned into a big fight about how getting implants was an insult to the deaf community. It was some reading!

    Hi Tara.

    Tia I love it 'Let their be shoes' :rotfl:

    Bizziebaby emailed last night to ask does Isla have a dummy, she doesn't so I replied and mentioned that we BF, cloth nappy , baby wear and have just started weaning so although it seems a bit cheeky to tell them what we use it may be helpful if they had anything suitable to review. They've just offered me a wrap sling! :T

  • When I was learning BSL I spoke to several deaf parents who didn't want their kids to have implants because it could alienate them from the deaf community. The thing with deafness is that some deaf people don't see it as a disadvantage and wouldn't want to hear if they had an option to.

    My teacher and his wife were both profoundly deaf and they had one deaf child and one hearing child - they both said they worried more about the hearing child fitting in than they did about the deaf child.
