Anyone TTC#2 and wanting to chat

[Stef]

Morning!!

Hope you catch some Z's whilst Tyler is at nursery. Olivia is at home with us today, I know this sounds awful but i hope she is well enough to go to nursery tomorrow i need time to catch up with my housework which seems impossible with the puppy and Olivia.

I need to load the dishwasher and cant be bothered. That and ironing are jobs i hate.

XX

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Urgh ironing is such a long and boring job!!, my house isn't actually that bad today so a quick tidy and nip around with the Hoover should do the trick today!! X

How is olivia today... Is her temp still up x bless her x

 

[Stef]

Shes still in bed with her dad. Ive camped on the sofa. lol

xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Aww bless x .... I hope u get a better nights sleep tonite, bet your glad your off work.
Ooo OBEM tonite x

 

[Stef]

Yes very!! lol!! Back to the drs on Thursday too will see what she has to say then.

OBEM! Cant wait!!

I like the new proposed changed to mat leave meaning that a man can take the remainder if the woman goes back to work early.

Im planning on taking 10 months again... The longer i take I only have 2-3 months left before i leave my job to go to uni... If i get in.. please please please give me a uni place lol

xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

What do u work as, oo that's good that the man can take the time off lol, didn't know that.
I won't get mat leave this time around as I havnt worked since u had Tyler x
Is that £500 grant still available to mums to buy baby stuff, I prob won't get it tho as I had to apply 6times last time before they gave me it and OH has a better job now

 

[Stef]

I work in technical support for a telecoms company. hate it!!!

I dont know when they are planning to bring that in.

I have no idea about the £500 grant, we didnt qaulify last time and we wont qualify this time either.

Even though when baby is born i will have been with my employer 4 years and 2 months im only entitled for maternity pay for 3 years service, as to qaulify for maternity pay for 4 years service the baby would have to be due 15 weeks or more after my 4th year of service. Ridiculous so ill get 12 weeks at full pay rather than 18 and then smp after that,,, which is £125 a week. Great. Thanks for that!!!

Better than 1st time round I spose. I didnt qualify for any company materinty pay by 1 week so i ended up having to claim MA

xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

That's ridiculous isn't it, I hate how these things work out, it's stupid u shud just get the full amount!!

Well suppose I best start gettin ready for little mans nursery he's gotta b there at 9 x

Al prob pop back on when I get back xx

 

[Stef]

Oh bless him!! How many days a week does he go to nursery??

Olivia goes from 7:30-5:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Xx

Morning Girls

Stef - thats rubbish that you couldnt sleep I hate that when your wide awake but you want to sleep

Kerri - Hope you manage to get lots done whilst Tyler is at nursery! what age do they start getting free nursery places? ohh and back to the find out the sex question, well this time I actually think I would quite like a surprise but at the same time i'd like to know so think we'll discuss this when i get a BFP and see what OH says

Well girls, my stupid testing on the cbfm went wrong this morning, so its only showing a high, but laying in bed last night I could feel some slight cramping so thinking I might have ov'd last night, so fingers crossed for this month and let the 2ww begin! bleurgh!

how is everyone today?

Nat -awww sounds like your room is going to be lovely! I need to redecorate our bedroom and get a colour scheme going! I'm tempted to have 3 walls one colour and then one wall teal with teal matching accessories but OH wants 3 walls one colour and then a rain forest scene on the remaining wall? we shall see!

Right best do some work then!

 

[Stef]

Free nursery places start when they are 3.

If your child's born between 1 April and 31 August they get the nursery place from 1 September following their third birthday until statutory school age

If your child's born between 1 September and 31 December they get the nursery place from 1 January following their third birthday until statutory school age

If your child's born between 1 January and 31 March they get the nursery place from 1 April following their third birthday until statutory school age

Olivia goes to private nursery and if they get funding from the government from the scheme you can claim upto 5 sessions a week, a session is 3 hours.

so for Olivia I claim 4 sessions, she is in 2 days so essentially i pay for 8 hours a week, in school holidays i have to pay full price as i cannot claim the sessions.

Hope that makes sense.

xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

he goes from 9-12 on mon & wed ,
They get the free sessions from age 3, tyler will be 3 next month so he will prob get his easter term, when he gets those he will be going more & i will send him 1 full day to get used to being there all day instead of just the morning x Then when he gets used to it, he will go more x

Ooo u lot with your decorating!! ...all your ideas sound lovely! ....our room is 2 cream walls, 2 chocolate walls and we have chocolate leather bed and chocolate curtains etc, OOo and a animal print duvet haha!! love it x

Well ive hoovered the livingroom, dusted and done the dishwasher so thats enuf for thismorning haha!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]
