    afternoon ladies! everything is still upside down here OH is trying but i just cant? sounds stupid doesnt it?? i dropped abi off at nursery and they asked me to stay this morning for soft start. i had the 2 little ones with me but thought hmmm tidying up or let the kids have fun! guess which won. i got talking to a few ladies who invited me to the toddlers group, i explained about charlie and how hard i found it to take him place and they understood and as they run it they didnt mind! so he had a fantastic time and was an angel! i couldnt believe how well he behaved :D:D:D have now been invited to a pamered chef party??? and to go back on tues and thurs with the kids! i also met a childminder who may be able to take charlie and erin on whilst i work so all in all a good day!!!
    now for your opinion, i am totally skint and its MIL birthday tom i have made cup cakes and scones with clotted cream, would you be happy with a box of these than a cheap present???

    hope your all good and i havent caught up yet!

    Im in tears. The b!stard council just came at my door because complaints of noise again, yesterday Keira and blakey were running around and also someone told them I have cats and they said If I don't get rid of them, they will give me an asbo and evict me. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? Im not rehoming them, they'll just get put down, the rescue centres are bursting.

    I said that if he wanted me to get rid of the cats he better rehouse me and he said I wouldnt get rehoused because of that.

    Im in a right state here, and I have to go pick up Keira, and now everytime she moves Im going to worry that he's comig back to my door. He wouldnt say who complained but its obvious its her cause she was banging on my floor last night. I have no bloody life, and now I won't even have my cats.

    Yeah they could go to OH's mum but I dont want them to leave me! I might moan about them but I love my cats, they are part of the family, and now Im being told they have to go because errr they break the rules of the teneacy, they dont cause any harm to anyone or anything except my sofa.

    I doubt it was my next door neighbours who grassed me p about the cats, I bet it was the effing caretaker, and If I see her ill be going nuts, she couldn't clean a lift if she licked it clean. Manky brown teeth b!tch

    :hello: everyone I dont know if this is nationwide or not, I have just had local council out who do baby checks on your home. They have left socket covers, door jammers, corner protectors, bath mat, protector for bath taps, fitted lock on bleach cupboard and have ordered and will come back and fit stairgate all free now thats :money:. Its not means tested and does not matter if owned or rented house might be worth contacting your local council.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the lengthy post. Not been on for a couple of days so just had a quick scanned catch up of the last couple of pages as it's all I could manage.

    In relation to Annie's post above, my HV mentioned this too. Our council do it through The Wise Group. They will supply and fit stair gates etc so it's definitely money saving. And, they will do it in grandparents homes etc too! And it's free to everyone. Not sure if this happens everywhere though.

    MM - glad Dylan got on well at hydrotherapy session.

    MFD - glad first day at work went ok and Benjamin was fine at CMs. Hope you and hubby are talking now (missed it if you updated us!)

    Sugar - so sorry your husband isn't doing too great. You would have thought he could have picked a better time to fall is!! I really hope everything goes ok for you.

    Jillie - glad Kian's appointment went well. As I am obsessed with length, he has grown quite a bit. Holly is really long but only grown 2cm since birth. Let us know how his jabs go. We have ours next week.

    Weezl - good luck with scan tomorrow.

    Glam - Holly has just been sleeping in a long sleeved bodysuit and the sleeping bag. She is cosy enough in that except that her hands are freezing! I put socks on them the other night, but when I woke, they were both off and sitting together in the same place!? How did she manage that?! It has suddenly turned really cold here now though and was freezing yesterday morning so she has been in a normal sleepsuit for the past 2 nights (with turnover scratchmits for her hands!). Our room is usually about 16-17 degrees.

    Sympathies to Wizadora and anyone else having problems with work. I don't want to think about going back at the moment and luckily still have a long way to go. Not sure what hours I want to request yet. Will need to see how finances are!

    I had a nice night out on Saturday, and managed a bottle of wine without getting too drunk. Yesterday I was at hospital for an ultrasound (I had to fast for it too Sugar so can sympathise with your hubby) and I have gallstones. Waiting on results to be sent to docs before I find out what happens next. Might need operation to have them removed. I had experienced excruciating pain in my chest on and off throughout pregnancy, so looks like this is what caused it. It's good to know though as I think they thought I was havering at the hospital when I turned up in agony one night whilst pregnant and they couldn't find anything wrong!

    If I have missed anything important, please let me know! xx

    SS, hugs for you hun, hope your OH gets better soon and the bills aren't too high!

    Caz, I'd be happier with homemade cakes than a present that would probably just be out to the side anyway.

    So angry, Ambers appointment for her 12 weeks jags was the 6th, not the 10th like the HV had wrote down. So went all the way out there for sod all. It's now friday, when she will be 15 weeks.

    But she now has a bumbo :D

    Can't believe people are moaning abouth kids running around, what bloody plonkers!

    Krystal, I'd go for next Sunday.

    Caz, the best pressie I got after having Maddy was a cake, sounds yummy!

    MM, I thought they had to show a reason when turning you down for a change in hours, it's the law, did you put it in writing?
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
