Wooo my tax credits have come through! And thanks to them not having paid me anything for 6/7 weeks I am currently getting an obscene weekly amount . Time to start repaying some debts (though am still waiting on my housing benefit)

HMHB I might give lost a go after prison break if it's not too scary...athough someone else recommended the wire.

Over xmas I decided to stop using the cloth nappies...ds had grown out of half of them and I needed both the storage and the drying space tbh. He keeps taking the disposables off and pissing on the carpet though so it may have been a mistake!

Yay it was my mattress The man was only able to deliver it to the front door though for H&S reasons so I just had to drag it upstairs on my own, rewarded my efforts with a little lie down-it feels very comfy! Now all I need is a bed to put it on

WME your posts are making me laugh, the last one sounds lke yo' a homey yo.

Am meant to be going to supermarket but its snowing and I don't want to! If I don't the dc will be nightmares later, they need the fresh air and exercise.

JKS I can't nap in the daytime during the week now that we've decided DS needs no nap during the day

Just got back from the Drs and I'm now facing a dilemma. I cannot stay on the ADs I'm on now if I am pregnant. The ones I would need to take if I was pregnant, I can't take as long as i'm BFing. So, by May which is when we have decided to start TTC, I need to be on no tablets!
