    Hope you manage to get the mess sorted out IA. I'm stressing as have two strange child tax payments today and nothing was due - it's £40 less than my usual payment so hoping they've not lowered it to this amount, nowt in the post yet to explain it...
    i have had 2 payments today as well.
    One is higher than before...although I have received no notification from them yet:confused:

    IA - Bless you for saying they're lying! :) Although I think they probably are to be honest, because my old ones agreed with the ones at the doctors all through my pregnancy and also at the last hayfever clinic. Going to go by what the new ones say though, and then once I get to my target, it will be a nice surprise if I actually weigh less than I thought.

    Lucifa - not sure really, she didn't put it on a credit card, so I suppose it's okay, but I could really think of much better ways to spend that kind of money (night out with Gingerste, apparently! :rotfl:). It's a cute bag but I have an almost identical one that I bought in the Dolcis sale a couple of years ago for £8.

    I'm good thanks Ste, how're you? Did the exams go okay?

    Sar - I know what you mean, the bag I feel guilty about buying at the weekend was £5 from New Look!
