I really don't feel (well I wouldn't, would I...) that the tax/benefits difference between two median earners and one high-earner plus 1 SAHParent needs to be further swung towards the two median earners
Curse you, child benefit changes!

I'm waiting in for a Virgin man (snigger) today. I'm hoping he's going to say my Virgin box is an antique and he'll give me a nice new shiney one.

He, he at waiting for a Virgin man, 3! I hope they send you a lovely one with a shiny new box (oo-er)!

I need this dress for my work do next week. Should I buy it?

Yes! It's lovely.

WM that makes him sound even worse

Bruno all those things would pee me off too. I hope you enjoy your drinks out though.

I was a bit baffled by the logic, except about the ease of administration.

Hey all...

Kindof - have a fab hol, I'd love to be off to the lakes x

Becles - poor C hope her lip is better soon and glad your carpet is blood free now.

Bruno - I like us having our own space so I can appreciate how even the small stuff is annoying.

WM - the others have already said everything there is to say about your OH but I just wanted to chip in my support x

Tia - the thought of your sofa on it's travels was funny.

Thanks for the replies about duvets I think I'll look at getting one for T in the new year as that's when the temp really drops here. Had an awful night here as T kept waking up and at one point was awake for about 2 half hours! She has a snotty nose, sore bleeding bottom and teething pains not to mention being tired!

Yes - it also occurred to me that you could have a joint income of over £80k and still get CB....linking it to personal tax liability seems to just be an easy check...although what would happen if the non-working parent applied for the CB?

I still think it is a positive step forward though albeit doing myself out of *is ashamed to say she doesn't know how much CB she receives each month*

Exactly! It defies logic really.

For example, DH earns £46k, we loose it, next door earn £40k each, they don't. How is that right?

Csh has suggested on another thread capping it at 2 children. Admin on that would be easy.

Most of the things sound like minor annoyances which would become a big one all put together, I really hate people being in my way in my tiny kitchen.

But that ^ one is unforgivable. :rotfl:


Becky My old car had a container (like the water one) labelled for the brake fluid, it was quite simple. I'm not sure if all cars are so simple though, I haven't done it for years. Thats what I keep OH for.
