Insurance is a minefield - that's a understatement

I think it's a specific young drivers insurance, but I don't know the company name, it could be something to suggest to your brother

Just thought I'd jump in and say this is done by the company i work for

Yeah think thats what we'll have to do, i'll just add him as a second driver, puts it up a couple of hundred over the year so obv a lot cheaper than if he had his own, imagine if he was on his own though, he just wouldnt be able to afford it.. this means that he needs me more than i need him *evil laugh* Does your hubby drive?

Nope he's going to learn once I pass my test so I'll be the only driver for a while... I think I'll be adding my Mum as a named driver to lower the price a bit...

Susan I have also been thinking about you, but not wanting to ask:o Sorry if I have come across as insensitive, by not asking after you.

I know after all three of my MC's I wouldn't talk about them to anyone, and tbh have only just started mentioning them to people in the last year or so.....even though the last one happened in 2005.

Thanks. When I had to write the post saying I'd miscarried I did wish I'd not told you lot I was pregnant but actually I'm glad that did because it helps to know that some people know about it. Nobody IRL knows because none of them knew I was pregnant and "By the way I was pregnant but now I've miscarried" doesn't really slip into conversation very easily. And when I talk about it I am liable to lose my composure which matters to me IRL but here you can't see me so it's okay.

And nobody need worry about seeming insensitive by not asking. I went back to my original post today and over 50 people had thanked it which is enough to tell me that you care. I'm happy for people to ask how I am but I don't want anyone to be worrying about whether they should or not because I do know you care either way.

Hope that all makes sense.

I am in a work dilemma atm....

Me and dh are both looking for work atm and I have seen a job that looks good, hours and pay seem decent.....however i am being stubborn and don't want to apply for it as I want to be at home with the kiddies, I want dh to get a job, or at least get one first!! I feel like I am cutting my nose off...etc... but feel quite strongly about this and tbh work has been a source of tension and argument between us since the year dot!!

However, if i don't go for it and miss out on it, i will probably kick myself at a later date!! I really don't know what to do.....

Not really after answers, just musing and getting it 'out'

But thanks. Do you mean you think you've been asking me too many personal questions or just people in general? Either way I hadn't noticed.

Both I think, I was conscious yesterday that my asking about homeschooling might have looked hostile when really it wasn't, IYSWIM?

Dishes done, cereal (mine) eaten, baby sleeping, list for tomorrow made up. I've started using an even more controlled to do list system - it has repeating daily, repeating weekly, today, this week and this month sections and it's working really well.

Firstly K has taken to trying to give T everything under the sun... I went in the kitchen to prepare his lunch and when I came back out she had in her bouncer (with her) a remote control, a letter, the baby monitor and he was trying to shove an iphone into her hand.....the letter was on her head!!!

That's sweet - he obviously likes her then. I have a rule for Alice that she's only allowed to give babies one toy at a time so if she want's to give them another toy she must take the original one away. She'd bury them otherwise.
