    Susan, the Belgians drown everything in mayo and all the one's I've met have an obnoxious habit of correcting my grammar. In English.

    What if you do it on mysupermarket.co.uk and then migrate your basket over?

    Th dry patches on T's skin seem to have gone redder since using double base. Has anyone else noticed this? Ofcourse it coincide with the weaning as well. He's been having baby porridge that you just add water to for breakfast, other than that it's all been fresh fruit and veg.
    We used to sometimes find it didn't work so we used to switch between that, coconut oil and sudocrem according to what seemed to make the most difference at any given time. I blame the house we lived in though as it all cleared up around when we moved house.

    Maternity Allowance pays a standard weekly rate of £124.88 or 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings (before tax), whichever is the smaller.
    MA is paid for a maximum period of 39 weeks.
    That's if you're employed but don't qualify for SMP. It's slightly different if you're self employed though. If you're paying NI then you get the standard weekly rate and if you're not (you can choose to get exemption if you earn below a certain figure) then you get a lower rate which is somewhere around £30-40.

    Hi Wilma!!! :doh:

    Spending Review, as with the child benefit, I see why they are reforming Tax Credit threshold but again the fairness is not right. A single parent trying to work 16hrs and better themselves is hard enough, but to try and do 24 will be tough where as a couple with one doing just 16 is wrong, and they should be made to work more. In that case I don't think 24 is enough. *waits to be battered!*
    I would totally agree with this. I hope 24hrs for single parents is not the case... :-/

    Hi :p
