I just paid Kwikfit to do the brake fluid along with the brake pads, the other day. Total cost was £90ish, I think maybe 35 and 55 or something but I forget.0

He keeps drinking my wine.
Ahhh, now here in lies the root of the problem
None of which comes remotely close to WM's situation. I remain very angry on your behalf. Very.
.
Too be honest, i'd rather put up with OH, than have someone stay at my house, family or not. I don't really do hosting, entertaining i'm carp at it. I'm very protective of my space, and would very much want him to booger off somewhere else.
Decorator came and I'm now in work. So i'd best go do some work.0 -
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!0 -
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.

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.0 -

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!Baby :female: Tahlie Lois born 15/3/10 7lb 12 oz :heartpulsWorking on baby no2

Curse you, child benefit changes!I was a bit baffled by the logic, except about the ease of administration.
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 thoughalbeit doing myself out of *is ashamed to say she doesn't know how much CB she receives each month*
