    Hi all, took dd to clinic, dietician gave us a sheet / plan to reintroduce dairy :eek: so we're going to give that a whirl. Need a diary. A dairy diary. Lol.

    Took her back to nursery, came home, emulsioned kitchen. Didn't take long as everything ready to go. Head banging. Nap time now, to get away from paint smell... Not good with sinusitis. Yuk.

    So kitchen is upside down but looks fresh and clean, need to do downstairs loo later, and tidy round.

    Thatisall

    Just had a call from my credit card company; someone's tried to use my card number for a ma-hoo-sive online grocery shop.:( Luckily, they didn't get past the security, so I shan't be out of pocket. But I have to chop up my card and they'll send me a new one. It's the first time I've had anything like this happen - I'm very careful with my cards. But I did use that card in the actual shop (as opposed to online) a few days earlier, so I wonder if the details were somehow cloned there?:think: Ah well, all credit to the security for catching it - I can't afford to be out of pocket by that amount. And I do have another card I can use while I wait for the new one, so it's not a problem from that point of view.

    Flying-wise - I've got caught up with washing my clothes (as opposed to Mr LW's) today, do there's a bunch of stuff on the line drying; I'll have to do his tonight, though; there's a pair of jeans and a pair of chinos in the wash bin, to my certain knowledge.:cool:

    I've got the finance spreadsheets all done and we have the D/Ds all set aside for July and August (I like to be a month ahead of myself);); so I'd better go and do some physical as opposed to cyber Flying, I guess.

    Skanky loo, here I come......:rotfl:

    Child benefit?

    When I stop getting child benefit for DS1 in August does DS2 become the eldest child and therefore I lose one lot of the lower rate or do I lose the eldest child rate?

    Ironing all done, kids eating lunch then they'll be furniture moving.

    Your next eldest child (DS2) becomes the eldest child for CB purposes and he will get the higher rate; any other children get the lower rate.

    I've just had my letter and DS - who is 18 in August - gets nil from September and DD will then get the higher rate. I have no other children so that's it!
