I think Harrison is almost giggling, very cute! Harrison is tiny compared to eveyone else lol, at 8 weeks he was 10lb 2oz, he's 9 weeks tomorrow & I think he's probably about 10lb 6oz - very diddy! But he was born on the 2nd centile!

Oh work, what a thought! Ill need to go go back full time unfortunately! Would LOVE to be a sahm! Great thing is my mum retired the day after R was born and hubby's mum is retiring at Christmas so they are doing 3 days between them so I will only need to find somewhere for 2 days.

R is also a wee chunky monkey at 9 weeks he weighed 13 lbs 3 oz. I love his wee chunky legs and arms though! HV happy with his weight as hes still on the 50th centile.

Noahs on the 91st centile lmao! Xx

I don't think I could be a stay at home mum to be honest, ideally I would LOVE to work part time, but I have to go back full time unfortunately. Go back in January ;-( although am using my annual leave to work 3 days a week until April so that I can ease back into it. M is very nearly giggling, I can't wait for a full blown laugh! He is also quite the chunk at 12.12 @ 9 weeks. Love it! Xxxx

These babys are all growing so fast!!! Ben is smaller on the 25th centile but not as small as Harrison ! not had him weighed since last week at 4kg and that was at 4weeks old he's 5weeks now will weigh him next thurs. I'd love to be a sahm but tho I think we cud poss manage we couldnt hav hols or same treats and quality of family life iykwim would b v tight scraping by (unfortunately I always earned more than tom so going to one wage and his at that Is a shock!) Instead I'm hoping to go half time 9 days a month of shift I'm waiting on my application to b assessed fx they say yes else not sure what we do I don't want to use child care n with the half time we cud manage it x

Well be & oh have been talking & if we want for me to be a sahm mum & ttc for no 2 in July 2015 then we are going to have to delay our wedding by TWO years so August 2017. Disappointed, but I guess its the sacrifice we have to make. Guess its one less thing to worry about for a while!

Ive decided before i go m start my healtjy eating from next weeknim goin to do a crash diet!!

I did it before i went on hols last aug and it worked.

I lost 14lbs on 7days and it staye off.. Then i got pregnant lol.

So im guna do it! I need to lost and 2.5stone maybe 3.. Then ill be 7lbs under my pre preg weight.
So im hoping the 14lbs will go in a week and then im going to do Ww to lose the rest over time.

If anyone wants to have a go http://www.jaduncan.com/2006/04/how-i-lost-stone-in-week.html?m=1 it does work! As u can see from what to eat ur almost starving yourself lol. Its the grapefruit that helps!!

Ive been shopping and ill start this tomorrow!!
I was guna post in the yummy mummy thread but ill probs get a few comments suggesting not to do it lol! Or that it wont work/ will gain it back!
We shall see!! Xx

Have u checked for child tax credits dani? I'm not entitled to wtc either but I get £11 ctc....not load but because we get this £11, it means we could get the sure start maternity grant!! It's been a lifesaver for us! (Well it's still in our savings but its 'spent' already).
Whose doing baby massage? My class starts Monday and I can't wait!! Lol xx

 

[babyslog]

Ohh i didnt think to ask about CTC!! Ill see if i can apply online. Sod calling them again!!!

I was looking into the massage classes! After sara said how much fun she had on hers!
Enjoyyyy!! xx

 

[Bek234]

Omg just read that diet! And wow!! I think I would have to do that at a few days at a time instead of a full week lol I like my food too much lol let me know how u get on with it xx

It really pisses me off that they don't tell u exactly what ur entitled to! U have to specifically ask about each one. Fingers crossed for u!

Yh I definitely can't wait for them, I was booked on to one in sept but when i got hallie weighed on thurs, the HV told me the other day 'oh sorry that poster was from last year, they actually start on Monday' grrrr!! Luckily I still managed to book on xx

 

[babyslog]

CTC came bk as £0.00 entitlement lol argh xx

People who falsely claim benefits stating that they're single in order to get more benefits often do not know that A. the council will have to have that person on the claim address living as single with FW address of the OH (if randomly moved out at some point to make the claim to begin with) which will give them single person discount. However accounts with single person discount, empty property discount ect. Will be traced once in a while to see if the details are correct. Everyone knows that not everyone will inform the authorities when change of address. Through credit agencies checks are done to see who is claiming credit or has credit on certain addresses. So for example if the claimant single mother (who really does live with OH) receives SPD and benefits from the DWP and OH applies for a phone contract, credit card, you name it you price it, they automatically sent information through to DWP and DWP communicates with the council suspicion will be raised and either people get caught through investigators or by failing to provide information requested. It looks all quite easy and some people do get away with it, but it's not as fabulous paying those benefits back with a fine on top I wouldn't think it's worth the risk. And if you know Dani, who else knows about their situation? It won't be long until someone tips off one of those authorities that will take further action. Fraud isn't something they take with a pinch of salt. It's amazeballs what you find out working for the council

But Dani why did you calc your working tax credits upon your Mat leave pay? You give them what you've earned the last tax year between 5 April '12 and 06 April '13. I've just sent off the form and what am entitled to should make up to the rest of my income and almost give me the same amount of money all together as if I was working 25h a week. Could easily be that you've calculated it wrongly tbh or that I've got it wrong and won't get a penny either lol. But i'll let you know when I've heard something back from me claim.

But am I the only one that doesn't want to be a Sahm and won't be TTC ever again? Oh and I won't get married either but that's OH's fault not mine

xx

I spoke to a lady on the phone and she asked the questions and i read out the figures from our P60s and we r not entitled to anything.
Nevermind ay!! Xx

Been browsing costumes hehe!!

We have a family photoshoot booked for 28th sept aswell for my OHs birthday xx

 

[MiniVoid]

Weeks or months? Lol but that's poop about the tax sometimes I don't understand why they have to make it tough on working people who pay taxes and yet people can 11 kids and get benefits or a friggin house built for them how mixed up is this system! I'm going back to work eventually let's first get some childcare sorted my mother in law cancelled yesterday at the last minute like she did the other day I find that proper proper rude am not arsed that she is too tired to have him but I think don't make agreements when you then can't be arsed keeping them. And am annoyed with OH cause he's being arsey with me !
