    Bunny, I totally agree. You can't stop things happening to you, but you can control how you react, how you think about them and what you do to deal with them.

    Pooky, sounds lovely to have the laughter.

    Elfen - Hope you're ok.

    Buns - Some people are never happy, why should it be down to you to tell people!


    My daughters are officially strange and are currently crawling around pretending to be tigers...............which wouldn't be so strange if they weren't 11 and 14.

    They'll still do that at 21 and 24 - you just have to add vodka then...

    No you won't you don't have any children! You could get TC but you wouldn't work enough hours.

    pap- I would be eligible for TC if I worked 16+ a week...from July, when I start getting high rate care.

    Also, do they still give the IS disability premiums?
