Anyone planning to go to Alton towers/legoland/sealife centre etc in the holidays there is a voucher book being sent out with the tesco clubcard statement with 3 x 1 free entry with a full paying adult vouchers along with lots of other extra points and money off vouchers.

Also the fairies will most likely have a Alton Towers family pass coming up shortly...I got an e-mail I won one through a competition, but it's no good to us. I'll post something when it comes in the post as I don't want to offer it in case it fails to come through!

Good news, wm! I need to find my calculator and sit down and sort out if this year's are worth phoning about. :cool:

magic knickers/spanx- ive got lots lol, the best ones ive got are from m&s, ive got some from very too, also those tummy clincher ones, where its just like a corset for the stomach lol, they'r no good if the dress is slinky or at all tight cos they have like bra strap hooks that you can see through the outfit,

I have the tummy/waist nipper one. I got it to wear under trousers, but it's so shiny that the trousers were slipping down all the time and I spent the entire wedding pulling them up! You need to wear a belt I think.

OMG!!!!!!!

Woo hooooo! :j:jWoo hooooo! :j:j Whoo hooooo!:j:j

Have just checked my bank,expecting a pitiful £30 balance.
And there is a mahooosive payment gone in from Tax Credits.

Woo hooooo! :j:jWoo hooooo! :j:j Whoo hooooo!:j:j

Yaaay!! :j Great news. I think you are quite pleased ha ha.

I have been phoning them for about 2 weeks and eventually got through yesterday - my phone bill will be sky high. I just wanted to tell them I was on SMP now, but they wanted to know my projected wages for the following year which I hadn't realised and worked out. So I had to hang up and phone them back again today!!!! I have been on hold to them for between 20 and 40 mins most days. They better give me something extra to cover the cost of the bloody phone calls!!

I am totally confused by how it all works though. They couldn't even tell me if I will get a renewal form as I only started my claim in March so they might not bother. But that was based on elevated figures from the previous year due to an unfair job regrading at work which I won on appeal and therefore got a big backdated lump sum pay rise. So now they have the figures for the coming year, but haven't taken into consideration the actual figures for the past year. Sorry to go on, just really confused!! :think:

Do we not have a confused smiley anymore or can I just not see it??

I have trinny and suzana fat pants. I have to tuck them under my bra to stop them rolling down.

See, i'm a funny shape! 5'7 but long body and short legs so even the biggest knickers aren't long enough to tuck into my bra!

I tried on a gorgeous all in one trouser suit a while back, and I loved it, but the legs were too long, and the body part was right up my backside. :eek:

It fit lovely a few months after i had H as i was breast feeding and lost some weight now it is so tight! I am not sure about it at all. It is this dress I need to lose weight and fast!

Gorgeous dress elasti. As we're on about big sucky-in knickers, would they help at all?

Mum has lost two stone on slimming world and is loving it. She says she's eating loads, more than before, but the right stuff.

I've got some M&S ones, but they're thong back - it's like sitting on a cheese wire!


After J's behaviour meltdown last week, his SW has just been out to discuss help. He's applying for a carer for us, 4hrs a week. Hopefully it'll be awarded - if it is, it's the first useful thing the SW has ever done.

I've got an appointment with his Dr. at school 1st July too. The school nurse said the Dr. is keen to try to help the behaviour before going down the drugs route - which i'm happy about! I think!


Good luck for OH's and test results.

I knew the rolleyes smiley was gone because everyone always types it, but hadn't noticed the confused one was missing. I don't think I use them enough!

Yes Fitz most pleased , as currently brassic due to OH's ability to "loose" cough, £250 whilst p1ssed.

Now petrified that next year they will try and take if off me or ask for it back.

Also OH won't be finding out unless he gets his hands on the letter that will follow soon.
Have a list of things to sort with it, Summer child care costs for Joe, new fridge freezer, car seat for Alex, etc and most definately handing it over the bar at the nearest pub does not feature heavily in my plans.

OH needs to remain firmly in the dark as he is not the one faffing about with spreadsheets trying to budget for food, petrol, chilcare etc, but is the one p1ssing it all up a wall.

Happy Birthday, Glam! :bdaycake:

Its my sister's 40th today. I was supposed to be going to Las Vegas next week as someone dropped out but the ticket could not be transferred and the flight was full :(:(.

Good luck to Mr MFD. Sure everything is just fine.

And Mr Tara too on Friday.

ETA: and well done clever Becles!!!

WM I don't know how you put up with it. Good on you for getting a big payment.

SB - how gutting...although staying at home with your two lovely littlies is hardly a chore


Best get myself gone. Have a nice day at all and babies behave!!

SeptemberBaby_2

Whoohoo, WM! I would never condone OH's letter getting lost in the post :whistle:

I know, MFD. I was so gutted at first but my other sister's 40th is in two years time and she is planning New York!

Have fun this afternoon!

Neither do I. His inability to keep hold of his cash, does now mean that for the 3 qualifying England matches, he will now have to watch them at home. He'd even booked time of work for one of them.
So that is partly his penance, plus daily rants and sarky comments from about us being skint.

Will have to stagger my purchases though, as if i've been able to afford them form my month wage. Or else he might get a bit suss. As he knows that a girl he works with got a big payment last week from TC's. I've already told him we'd no chance. So not to get his hopes up. Sneaky, oh yes!
