i just had chippy chips yum yum, put some pies in the oven from the freezer b4 i went to the chip shop tho so only cost me £2 worth of chips lol!

OBEM tonight I have a PTA meeting tonight from 8pm, so really hoping to get away early enough to watch it at 9, if not will be +1

Has anyone looked into the childrens ISAs or whatever it is the government have set up for babies now? All DDs have the Child trust fund so need to sort out something for this baby and i havent a clue how/what to do! As it is my 3 have such varying amounts from the government changing the rules so many times! xx

Yes it stopped last january Tbh we havent ever topped the girls ones up. DD1 has over £850, DD2 has £300 and DD3 has £550! DD1 qualified for the 7th birthday bonus, and as they messed it up going into her account or something, they gave her a bonus £250, DD2 only got the basic £20, and DD3 got the basic, plus bonus as we were on Income support. So we need to start topping up DD2 at the very least!

I love chippy chips! Miss my pea fritters tho, no where up here makes them! x

Eeh what is it with pregnant women and deliveries?!

After Gilly's M&P saga I've started my own with John Lewis! They passed our pram to a courier who failed to deliver even though I waited in all day Saturday, five phone calls later I thought I'd rearranged delivery this Sat and returned home Monday to a 'sorry we missed you' called to explain, they said don't you worry we'll sort it, and now I've just come home to a 'sorry we missed you twice, now we're returning your item to sender' :mad: am hopping mad!

Thanks for the posts on entitlements, have had a good read up, though we're not entitled to anything as we're both working full time it's a shame to see some of the other benefits go, like the child trust fund, though I guess we're in a financial crisis so can see why, we'll have to have a look into and a think about the ISAs as I think we'd rather be sure our 18yo would manage it sensibly (mad thinking about how this LO is gonna grow up!) than have the account automatically turned over to them, I used mine wisely at 18 to fund uni and a few bits for my first flat, DH spent the savings his grandparents had made most unwisely, he enjoyed it but regrets it now!
