    Have you seen these ?
    Thanks, yes but they're rather large. Actually I really should sort through Alice's toys and see what she doesn't play with any more - I'm sure they breed.

    You'd think so wouldn't you? Going to see what they say when they call back. How would I find out if this is something that that have to deal with, CAB?
    I'd probably phone the council and ask about Environmental Health.

    Muso - H is very cute, I so nearly bought that raincoat for T too, tho they didnt have it in the next size up and she already has one for now.

    Gym - Good luck with the move, lovely pic off Guy. T is up 3 0r 4 times in the night atm but we put it down to teething. No idea on her height but she still fits in some of her 0-3 months clothes and most of her 3-6 months are still on the big size, we only just moved her into size 3 nappies.

    gisi - love the ikea veg I know its not suitable till 3 but might have to get some to put away for T when we go to ikea next month.

    SJ - am with Susan surely your LL is obliged to make good in your kitchen thats awful how you describe it .

    SS - eek at poo bin incident.

    Well messaged someone on netmums giving away a bouncer and its still available :) So off to collect tonight after dinner, am really chuffed as I wanted one but as we only have doors upstairs not sure how much use it will get.

    Susan - this is what I said. He seems to think it's in the law somewhere that we have to tell LL, but I'm actually pretty sure it's not. Also, he said the council write to LL to inform them, but I tried researching around the internet and can't find anything that says this. He's only dealt with London councils before so maybe they are more inclined to do that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure he's wrong actually, but since he's the property professional I have to have physical proof to prove it. ;) Personally, I think it's worth it to have a better quality of life and get a free £4.5k than trying to juggle work and childcare and coming out worse off! He's just jaded from having worked with DSS tenants in the past, but even he's said himself that when it's a family with young kids, everyone tends to view them differently. Anyway, it's no definite yet but I like to think long term, especially when we can TTC again.

    eta: the only thing I can find is some tenancy agreements may specify you need to tell them if getting HB, but otherwise there's no requirement.
    I've never heard of any law saying you have to tell your landlord. I vaguely recall having to fill in details of either landlord or estate agent on the form but I seem to remember there being a box to tick so they didn't contact them.

    Susan How exciting for you :D, and how organised!

    not sure I would be so calm about my baby jumping in the water but I guess I am gonna have to learn :o

    ^ surprises me MFD!

    Love the pics Caz, it looked like fun.

    V got herself into the full mop bucket not long ago in my friends garden , then at a barbeque they had a big decorative 'thingy' in the garden with floating candles (un-lit :p), V got into that too. Both times fully dressed with shoes and socks.

    And I love everyones cutey tiny babies.

    Last year they were £5 for a box of 9.I remember because I worked next door to a Sainsburys and bought tons while I was pregnant!

    Oh thats right they were £5.. so confused with the different offers that have been on recently.. some posted about a deal in Tescos for 3 packs of Pampers wipes and doubling CC vouchers but have never seen them before and would prefer to use my CC for days out - using about £20 worth to pay for some days out on IOW in a couple of weeks with my sister
