LadyM we were told nothing would change till bubs is born but they like to have a copy of the MatB1 cert on file which you get at 25 weeks, so that might be where the confusion is coming from?

Ah, possibly. Thank you.

I'm worried that being pregnant will trigger my transfer to ESA. I know it's going to happen at some point anyway.

I know that we'll be entitled to CTC and Child Benefit when baby is here and apparently that won't effect the IS or my DLA or DH's CA. I just like to know in advance what's going to happen as I struggle with change due to my mental health issues.

It's going to be hard being a disabled mum and for DH as he is my carer and going to have to care for baby too when I'm not well enough but I'm sure we'll manage somehow.

:hello: feel bad that I disappeared after demanding a facebook group but pleased to see it has got done! Thanks mishka, and have sent a msg Think I'm just aware how little I know about babies (and 9 weeks to go!) got myself in a right mix up today with you all talking about baby vests before I got into work this morning - can someone post a link of what they look like as I was panicking I dont have any and then a lady in work described them and maybe I do?

I ordered our first moses basket sheets from matalan - only 2 to see if they were right fit and get those 500 advantage card points martin lewis was saying about. came yesterday and fit nicely so looking for some in better colours as they were 2 cream.

ikkle, your pics are beautiful. we've ordered a paint by numbers jungle mural - well paid via paypal and had no confirmation of order so my half day tomorrow will be spent phoning that company!!

congrats to any new mums and dads i have missed, hope we get some more pics xx

Not sure if these are the vests that everyone was chatting about but this is the kind I used when DD was a baby and I'll be using the same kind again this time.

It wouldn't show the page SC.

Today I have made 6 lasagne's to freeze in practice for batch cooking, didn't have a freezer last time so haven't done this bit before. :j exciting.

Apart from lasagne and shepherds pie does anyone else have any suggestions which are easy to make and store. I have bought some cheap metal tins (like takeaway tins) which I am using so I can easily stack and label. Think OH would get board of the same thing all the time, as will I.

Our freezer has to have more in it than frozen veg and chips

Showing now, must have been my computer *sorry* think I have loads of those to so reassured. Really need to go through storage stuff just to get my head in gear what we need.

Think this weekend I might try it, seem to be in a reasonably strong place right now.
