    Do you ever wonder if you'd ever actually be missed if you just weren't here anymore? Apart from the fact that the house would be a tip!

    I would be missed when the cheese and biscuits runs out and OH realises no one is cooking tea. :rotfl:

    Oh the new freezer arrived and is great! But the old one had no drip tray apparently and had been dripping on to the carpet for the last year so we were greeted with a mouldy carpet..._pale_:eek:

    Were Smartie's pics on here or FB? please say here I don't have FB :(

  • here, a couple of pages back

    think i would be missed, as the mortgage wouldn't be paid, nobody fed, no clean clothes etc etc etc

    It's easy really I can still shout louder than they can :rotfl:

    Squeak is still an absolute angel for which I am incredibly grateful! She now weighs 10lb 4 which is 2oz more than DD1 weighed when she was born :rotfl:Still trying to catch the elusive smile on camera and failing miserably:o

    To be honest I'm just so glad to be able to be moving about, walking and generally doing most of what I could before all the weirdness in the Summer! I was terrified I'd be stuck not being able to walk:eek:

    Sorry my posts are a bit me me me I'm still trying to sort out who's who because this thread is seriously busy:o

    Yeah I know they take parent income into account (which btw is a totally ridiculous thing because your an "adult" at 18, so why would your parents income be relevant if you were 23? You could have a hoard of kids by then!)

    No his friend was saying the parents HAVE to support the kids in full time uni until they are 23. Turns out, he isn't EXACTLY wrong but still a smidge.

    There is some law (can't remember the website from top of my head) that states if you are disabled or (something else) you can take your parent(s) to court and presumably if you win they have to support you at uni. It's all to do with if you don't get the support then you would be unable to do your course.

    I'm presuming maybe it's for the instances like Sami's sister was in, taking into account parents income - thus no uni support (and I'm under the assumption the parents were point blank refusing to help even though they had the means)

    So I guess, if you sue your parents cause they are loaded and won't lend you a bean, the courts may decide they have to fund you :D

    Me neither because of bargaintastic £10 of £11 spend or more code for asos on the grabbit board.

    I AM OUT OF CONTROL PEOPLE!!!


    I am pretty certain I've ordered duplicate make ups I have went that nuts, though they shouldn't cancel anything because I have just ordered 3 dresses too, and a pair of novelty underwear for a friend :D

    Nothing is pending off the bank yet tho' JUST TAKE MY GODAMN MONEY!

    Incidentally, I just noticed something, I paid my mums internet last week as no way was I sitting at hers with no internet, anyhoo, she told me it was £24 she owed them. LIES, I just see its actually £34.87, BIATCH. I mean seriously the bank could of only had £26 in it?
