    Thanks BB, I will take all your advice on board and will ask for time to consider my options - I won't make any dramatic gestures.

    Just to answer the above, because granted it does seem strange.....I work for a well known 24 hour bank, and the underwriters are there until 11pm weekdays and 10pm weekends. Slave drivers they are! :rotfl:
    Probably like AQA - p1ssed w&ankers on a friday night asking where to get a prozzie or ..... a 110% mortgage :confused:
  • Snags whats going on with your thread - definately needs an 18 certificate :rotfl: but its soooo entertaining I wouldn't have it any other way :rotfl: ! Lenny, Bunny etc you are so bad :p !

    Re the job issue go with your gut instinct - in terms of money I'm sure you'd get some attendance allowance and possibly increased tax credits for Ryan which may help.

    Attendance allowance is for over 60s IDA - are you trying to imply Snags is old? :eek:

    In all seriousness though, you should think about applying for DLA though Snags, at 7/8 they start to consider children differently as they have a gauge of what's "normal" by that age.

  • Where my very long and drunken post bl00dy gone now? Stupid MSe and PC

    Anyway, snags it doesnt sound as if you *really want* to go back to work :confused:

    I was layed in bed last night thinking about you and Ryan etc and I got to thinking something then I came on here to post and thought it sounded silly so didnt bother but now I'm p!ssed, ill say it anyway.

    As you know Sam has dyspraxia (not as bd as ryan I know) and my heart breaks in two for him when I find out he has been sat on the "Buddy Bench" as school on hi own as all his friends are playing football and he cant, he cant catch a ball, he cant ride a bike, he cant swim (even after having 2 years of private lessons 0 which are not going to stop by the way), he has trouble talking to people !!! they dont know what he is saying (even I dont sometimes) and gets so mad when they dont as he knows what he is saying and cant understand why they dont. He has one-to-one at school but even that doesnt make up for the hugs and kisses he so needs (apart from Bethany kissing him which he doesnt like :rolleyes: )

    Anyways i got to thinking that I put Mollie on a 40% wash sometimes hotter as she is a little s o d but lovely with it but Sam goes on my delicates/wool wash as he just needs that little bit more looking after. I know this sounds silly and you will all laugh at me but it came to just as you are at that point of falling asleep and you think of something and think its a good idea and then when you wake up - it sounds stupid :o I feel that if I left him he would end up on a hotter wash and it would set him back - doe this make any sense at all :confused:

    So all in all, I think you should stay home with Ryan and Natasha - people are different and I commend those that still work when they have small children but I want to stop at home because my son (more so than my baby daughter) needs me to be here and I give him something his Dad cant (which doesnt mean OH doesnt love him but yo get the jist). He needs the stabilty of knowing hes coming home to his Mum and his routine isnt going to change, that he has got the support and love and help whenever he needs it.

    Anyway, yo must do whats best for you so I'll shut up now, apologies for anyone who doesnt understand me, I do but I have had two very very large Bileys and feel a bit p!ssed. Do whats best for your family Snags - we will all love you ever so mcuh whatever you do. Going to my bed now - I'll probably end up deleting this post tomorrow BUT FIRST I AM GOING TO COPY IT :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Love you Snags and yes its a school night but Andy off tomorrow so I can stay in bed allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day

    PS I'll stay sober in future in case Snags needs to be found
  • Oh forgot to say Sam gets the middle rate of DLA for both

    It makes perfect sense Weller, so I've quoted it, just in case you decide to delete it ;):D

    Snaggles thank you for putting us out of our misery. Had to go off line myself as oh wanted the lappy. How very dare he when I have been agog for your news ! Wouldn't you think that work would be falling over themselves to accept your offer to work such unsocial hours? What an eventful week you are having - an eventful month come to think of it. Everything will work out for the best I'm sure. Take care XX
