"And during the construction of this fortress, this haven ... there's been an addition to the family. When did you realise you were pregnant?"

Processor is corrupted (apparently)
Means ÂĢ200 to replace Intel i5 OR buy new lappy
Think it's a new processor and back to good old Windows 7

Aww that's bad luck Hopefully if you have to get a new lappy, you can get a good deal somewhere.
I got an Acer One Cloudbook 14" laptop for ÂĢ200 in December - it came with my Asda grocery delivery Works brill and has about 13 hrs battery life.
Idiot invention of the day
Studio Interaction Design has developed a unique pillow for couples who always want to be together but are in a long distance relationship. The gadget is very easy to use. When one of the partners goes to sleep, a sensor in the pillow sends a signal to the other pillow, and the latter lights up with a nice warm light. If you hug the pillow tightly, you can hear the heartbeat of the other person.
What this is really saying is 'When I sleep - you sleep'. That way I can make sure you're not in a night club where you can meet other people.

Whatever works for you, my friend
Maybe you could hug one pillow then run to the next room to see the other pillow light up and feels comfort that you're thinking of yourself.
Hug it tightly and somehow hear your own heart beat ... possibly cos you've been running from room to room.

I'm carer for my Mum
I'm carer for my Dad
Can I have Carers Allowance twice?
NO
Cos Carers Allowance is paid once and "is not a wage" I was told, "It's to meet your needs".
Basically you can 'run around for two just the same as one', ie, shop once for two people, collect meds for two etc ...
If a different person was carer for my Dad they could get Carers Allowance - but I can't get it twice.
AND he doesn't get Mobility Allowance even though he's in a wheelchair cos he didn't become disable til AFTER 65yrs of age!!
So apparently if you're over 65 you don't have needs to meet

Awww Renton I did know ....from personal experience....that if you're over 65 you can't claim disability allowance cos that happened to us ...but it seems unfair that there is no allowance made for the fact that you are caring for two people

That's very sad Sainty
Its an utter disgrace too 
Saint posted:I'm carer for my Mum

NO
It would seem that on the face of it you have two times the amount of care work to do and two times the amount of care costs incurred, also doing it yourself means there is less of a cost to the NHS and public purse, so it would seem to me that the logical path would be to give you twice the carers allowance. The problem is this country is f****d up in so many ways.
What really annoys me is when I see single mum's who pump out kids and received more cash than most of us earn. I mean some of the sums they get is quite amazing. But someone like yourself who cares for his parents seem to get very little in the way of financial support when it is so well deserved.
