    Is there any more room on the train for a little one? I'm a bit unsure what journey we're taking though.
    Also a bit concerned about the pregnancy thing - can you be a bit pregnant if your middle name is on the list? :D
    SSM hope today's socks will be better received - snowmen and snowflakes :snow_laug

    I finally had time to sit down and do my tax return tonight woohoo I thought.

    Nothing is ever simple, extra security now need either a P60, Wage Slip or valid passport!! Spent 2 hours trying to find my flipping passport can't find it. Work hasn't issued us pay slips/p60 since 2015! Going to spend some time in work tomorrow working out how to get them. so annoying, its something I hate doing made way more stressful grr

    I couldn't believe the security required. I needed my P60 and passport, then had to wait for a text message to arrive. I thought that P60s had to be issued by law each year.

    Evening loving caring Elite :wave:

    Pj day again for me today, but tomorrow, I'm off to dealership in Peterborough for 10am as they are going to repair my wing mirrors, as they don't retract when I lock the car as they used to do. They are going to give me a lift into city centre so will have access to Waitrose and M&S :j :j

    Naughtie AAU - choc coins indeed :mad:

    Lovely posts tonight, about caring and helping :j

    Hope TS's day went well

    I've had a refund from Prem Inn too, Westie and that was offered after I commented about sleep disturbed by fire alarm going off (due to smoker trying to get out onto roof grr) but mainly due to guy on night duty on reception being so offhand. I would definitely email them and point out that they did not fulfill their Good Nights Sleep Promise

    Edinburgh haymarket to edinburgh waverley (or vice versa), child, single ticket

    It has to be a virgin train (which most of them are not) so be careful you are buying a qualifying ticket

    They do, but a number of businesses are no longer issuing them as hard copies. Same thing with wage slips. You need to log into a portal to view and print them off. HR should have the relevant details.

    I'd like to start up a game but i can't decide on the format

    It can be either a "guess the weight" game or it could be a "guess the date" game

    Which would people prefer?

    :cool:
    i think a much better game would be to guess the weight of the mother on the arrival day :D
    can you ask her if you can post her weight now, so we have a starting point :D:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    go on, you know your tempted.
