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 .

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.Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.2 Samuel 12:23 Romans 8:28 Psalm 30:5

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 sisterMy_Fathers_Daughter wrote: »Jeremy Vine had a woman on his show today who was getting tutted at because she let her young kids run around naked on the beach yesterday teatime
