Have I read that wrong? Do you mean overestimated?

Thats what I thought too! No way I'm risking posting them anything! I was only on hold about 6mins earlier today then got a (Scottish, no need to speak clearly!) human

That's good - I was worried for a minute that you were getting all excited and you were going to be worse off.

i made the adjustments too but still over by £3000. mainly due to DH not earning any commission when he had the 2 months off and then i didnt knock all my 'ML £100 per week' off either.

:j for holiday tickets. am very jealous lol!! but we're planning to go to Lanzarote in November (staff disc is very very good)

i thought that too, but was only holding for a few mins and then was 2 or 3mins doing the renewal as i had already rang with change in work hours, nursery fees and then estimating 2010/11 salaries.

am in and out of the sunshine. Got Kian one of the asda paddling pools very :money: at £2.50 so we have both been playing in it and having lots of splashing around. kian is on his 3rd outfit today as he keeps going for the pool. will post some piccys later. we're having a break at the moment as its very hot.

Be careful with phoning in though ... thats how mine was done wrong and had to pay back loads as the numpty on the phone put my this years income in for last years income and said i HADNT DECLRED ANYTHING FOR THIS YEAR ( A FEW YEARS AGO ) (oops sorry caps ) and I had t fight with them t prove they were in the wrong !!

lol!!
thanks for asking we're getting there. we're trying him with pitta and houmos or bread with phily cheese. and he is eating a little. he will munch on a breadstick till he bites a big bit off and then panics and spits it out. he'll eat 1/2 a fromage frais and some fruit puree so he is getting there. and is till give him a bit from my plate. apparently DH was the same and refused all food till he was 11 monnths. i said to MIL great another fussy eater on the way lol!!

did take your advise and when i give him the bread etc i have kept him in front of the tv to distract him and it does seem to have helped. he did take spoons of pasta carbonara last night as he was watching the 'we buy any car' ad.
am not panicking as much (still have the odd :eek:, please eat kian) but a few friends fron work have said that their lo's also refused food till bout 11 months.

have his 32 week check (at 38 weeks) on wed so will see if they ask about his food, he's still having all his bottles so am sure he's still putting the weight on.

still no TC form here - perhaps it's come today. As we would have sent the originals off at a similar time.
Just need to find OH's last payslip from old job and his P60 which will be fun - probably in the same place as Christophers brith certificate!!

I'm so bored! In fact I'm that bored I've been working out what date we can start TTC so that I get Occupational Mat Pay - 8 weeks full pay, then 18 weeks half pay PLUS SMP, then 13 weeks SMP.
