    Im sure you can choose when you first get them? Or maybe it's changed?

    Susan, they asked us to choose when we first claimed. We initially thought monthly would be better as everything else was monthly (bills, rent, paychecks, etc), but lately it would be nice not to have to wait those interim weeks to have the spare cash. :o
    We were never given a choice - it just came weekly. And then when Alice was born and we started getting CTC in addition to WTC they started sending me a cheque every week even though they were paying the WTC into a bank account. Like I'm going to spend an hour every week specially driving into town and walking to the bank with a newborn baby to pay a cheque in.
    I do want too! What time is everyone meeting? I will be working till 6am, so probably no point going for some sleep after that, as it takes 2 and half hours, so I'm probably best looking at an 8oclock train or something.

    Plus, my best friend lives in Edinburgh, so can see if he is free and me and Keira could meet up for some dinner with him later on.

    Wow sounds a fun day, I'll just get some pro plus :rotfl:

    I shall confirm by tomorrow ;)
    We're meeting at 11 at a soft play but I forget the name.

    I think Susan and Alice are arriving at the station at 10.20, so it might be good if I met her there and we could find our way together? (Only if Susan wants to ;))
    Sounds good. I think Alice will be very happy to meet "Koala Baby".

    Stay over Jillie ;)

    Does anyone have a link to circumstances where a planned C-section is better than a VBAC?
