    Plus I forgot to add the area is not brilliant, our neighbours were burgled a few weekends ago, t00ssers forced the front door, my car has been stolen and/or damaged on numerous occasions, we have a number of multiple occupancy houses and have the students from hell who last night had another party until gone 3am, its really really loud on a very, very quiet street.

    Revving their cars at stupid o'clock is also another favourite pastime of theirs.

    Yes, we've been and 'had words' but it come to a point where the situation can easily escalate and I don't want my children having to deal with that really.

    We also have some kind of house here that has tenants who come and go and unfortunately theres always an issue with them. We've had mini riots from these houses, wed night the new tenant rushed out the house holding some metal pole and then was grappled by some man, interspersed with lots of shouting and screaming.

    Frankly I'm sick of it here, and writing it down puts it into perspective, funnily enough.:o


    Actually I also realise that because I'm so unhappy here, I do what I can to avoid being here which usually involves mindless shopping, spending money I shouldn't and cluttering up the place even more.

    Hi Triker - I was just going to suggest this:rotfl:

    [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Sally/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]Soappie - love the trifle - looks yummy!!

    Hope all those that are going out have a geat time - better weather here today but very windy!

    I have deposited DD at her new job and got back a couple of hours ago but felt really carp so just sat down with cup of tea and then fell asleep.

    DS has made a fresh cup to replace the cold one! and Now I suppose I will try and make a weekend list - can't follow Pigpen's list as cannot even see the floor in sooooo many rooms that I really need to declutter/sort/tidy/put away before start cleaning again next week. Well thats the theory anyway!

    Weekend list - not too much as I should be recovering from the SF/Bug/what ever I have got!!

    • HHC in DD's ROM
    • HHC kitchen x 2
    • HHDeclutter living room
    • open another 10 items of post - fild/shred or bin as appropriate. x 2
    • Strip and remake DD's bed
    • clear DD's bed first!!!!!!!
    • Strip and make my bed
    • Put up another rail in my bedroom to take excess clothes (to be sorted later to ebay)
    • WM loads x 4
    • fold and put clean washing away
    • Persaude DS to mow lawns - front and back
    • Persaude DS to complete UCAS application for UNI - you think the lazy toad would want to move away and therefore would be eager to do this!!:rolleyes:
    • clean window sill and wall where cat places her dainty but very muddy feet
    • get rid of manky food in small fridge
    • clear out old fridge (part of fridge freezer) as DS tells me that it smells like some thing died in there some time ago!! - yuk - not looking foreward to this one.
    • Find info for tax credit return - ready for extra 5 list for next week.
    • Get rid of 100 old emails from in box on both email accounts
    • Order tablets from America - must do this today as they take at least a week to arrive.....
    Ok thats me done - tea decluttered so off for a HHC in kitchen and put washing in
