Mayhem Babies! May 2011 mummies and babies

As for SAHM, possibly..... OH is applying for a new role that has lots of overtime, so if he gets in then yes.

They will probably want volunteers, just a shame my redundancy pay is only one months salery. xx

 

[mummy3]

I went to a colorectal specialist and had to get examined then lots of stool softener and time, if it doesnt go away they will get rid.

Dark green poo is fine, Eilidhs is like that all the time, its like sticky paste too lol.

 

[mummy3]

Does the one months salary add on to your maternity pay? I dont really know how it works, but I hope you can sort something out you are happy with

 

[24/7]

Thats ok then, phew!! How long before they went away? xx

 

[24/7]

I have 30 days of annual leave which equates to about £4000, and then a months salery as redundancy which would be £2000, so all together it wouldn't be too bad, and if we sold a car etc it would probably be ok. xx

 

[mummy3]

Green poop can last a while and come back again lol, Anja still gets it occasionally. Also depends on what they eat. If its infection causing it tho it gets an awful smell but infectious poo can be any colour and tends to be watery.

Sounds good that you have a plan, would you get government help to tide you over if it came to it or not eligible?

 

[24/7]

Green poo may be with us a while then.
No government help for us, as of next year OH will be just over the child benefit tax threshold too!! xx

 

[mummy3]

Theres a child benefit tax threshold now?! I've been away too long lol. So not everyone gets that 20 pound?

Here there's nothing like that, we pay taxes and get a child refund at end of the year out of your own tax but as you earn more it becomes less even though you pay more tax

 

[new_to_ttc]

oh reminds me need to send child thingy forms off lol

george has had 3 boob rotations and is finally settled lol well sort of lol he doesnt appear hungry any more lol, Im so going to end up with huge saggy boobs

 

[24/7]

As of next april the threshold will be the higher tax bracket, which is being lowers to £33,000 and OH got his P60 today and was £600 under it and with a payrise this year we will go just over it, even though it will only be by a small amount, which he will then pay high rate tax on, so we will be worse off after his payrise, which is silly!!

We are registering Sam tomorrow, and I'll be sending my forms off then. xx

 

[Wiggler]

I need to send my forms off too Must fill them in tonight.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Dont think i will EVER reach the higher tax band lol I filled the forms out days ago they just been sat on the side lol Ive no idea how much the 2nd child gets, I got my tax credit details through today and I am shocked how much extra a week I get for him, about £50 a week!!! that really makes up my maternity pay, and when i go back to work will be a much welcomed extra for nursery fees lol

 

[Wiggler]

How do I sort out the tax credits for Bethany? do I need to have her CB claim up and running first?

 

[new_to_ttc]

no i just did TC over the phone, the guy took Georges name and DOB and that was it I dont even think I had registered him when i rang TC! The CB needs doing by paper work and only after the birth is registered.

 

[Wiggler]

Thanks, we was going to ring TC tomorrow anyway to do our renewal so will get Bethany on there too

 

[new_to_ttc]

Ive been waiting for the ammended claim to come so I could check it and then do my renewal I got my P60 through a few days ago.

 

[24/7]

Wow, thats alot new, thats excellent. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

I didnt know what to expect, so it was a nice figure I thought maybe half that, my sister gets about £35 per child and she doesnt work (thought they got more lol) so makes a change that a working family gets more than a none working one lol

 

[24/7]

Its fab new, really fab. xx

 

[Wiggler]

I'm not sure how much we are going to get for Bethany, we get quite a lot for Dylan because OH doesn't earn much.
