    what is it about commuting to Farringdon?! Me and one of my local non-mse mummy friends are also based in Farringdon & we are both thinking the same! For some reason the words "first crapital connect" spring to mind...

    Something like that! Just adds far too much time to my journey and i hate faffing with interchanges. It wouldn't be so bad if i lived closer than 15 min uphill from the train station.

    Good to hear thomas is sleeping though :D

    hugs mel, hope tomorrow is better, bet a hot half term with irritating children and dh's is a nightmare, not to mention a hot heavily pregnant with irritating children and dh's half term. and I am with you on the benefit thing - why is tax credits assessed on income I've already had, how on earth do I get it now we've had a nil assessment but our household income is nearly half what it was 6 months ago?????
    I believe you can phone them up and then they'll reclaculate based on your estimate for this year.

    Evening all - I hope everyone is ok ... have been manically packing today, then spending the rest of the day with my parents and brother. Took Izzy to the park we used to play at when we were little, which was great fun - I had to go up the climbing frame with her of course :)

    Nearly ready to go toorrow. Have done everything I can for tonight. What have I missed?!

    GISI - I did get a bonus that my parents took Izzy out this morning so I could do what I need to do. Much easier when I can get on without "mummymummymummy"!

    Do you think this pram is SX rival to the Stokke? Similar frame apart from the handle

    Sewers (anyone), I'm looking at trying some basic sewing (a tutu, curtains for Ambers room, tabard dress), is the JML mini sewing machine any good? DH won't let me spend more than an xbox game on what will probably be forgotten about after a few days (so £40).

    ETA, the JML one looks crap.
