    You don't understand SS, she complains regardless of time. She isn't running around at 8pm or later, yesterday the banging started at 4pm! There is no limit with her AT ALL, weekends she can be banging from 10am onwards. I feel like I'm always shouting at Keira to stop running, dancing, playing loudly. It's not fair on her!

    They wonder why there is an obesity epidemic? ABERDEEN COUNCIL SAYS NO TO RUNNING

    I seriously will phone the papers about them threatening me with asbo and eviction about her playig and being a CHILD

    I know BM, but if you organise something with her she'll see you're trying to come to an agreement and feel better about it, rather than wondering how long it's going to last and blaming you for not taking care of it.

    Also, do you have carpets or wooden floors? Our upstairs neighbour has all laminate flooring and makes an unbelievable amount of noise just walking around.

    Edit: and if you can show you're trying to take care of it you're less likely to end up with an ASBO.

    Hi Elle...I havent had much time to catch up lately but was just having a quick 10 min catch up and saw your post.

    I watched the programme too, through a few tears. Glad to see Rhys is putting on weight. We weighed Rose a few weeks ago and she was about 18 and a half pounds. Think i'll check at the clinic tomorrow. She would only have been about 23 weeks then!! She has a cold that came on suddenly today. Womdering if a tooth maybe making an appearance. She seems to have had lots of signs for ages but no teeth as yet.

    Hope everyone is doing well. I do try to catch up but it seems like your invading a private conversation posting when you havent joined in for a while xx

    My mum just phoned him and she hung up on him as he started sniggering when she said that giving an asbo to a 3year old was over the top. !!!!!!!!?

    I've got a week to get rid of the cats.

    Thanks lovely - since he isn't a UK citizen or resident we'd still have to pay there :(

    And I agree with you about next Sunday and Weezlie's scan (the fairies probably have a whole array of MSE team pink things if it turns out that way) and :rotfl:at Jack. I feel a bit better about getting puked on the other day (:mad: at babies who throw up in my face).

    Ah, not being a UK resident is a bit of a problem then! Although it used to annoy me in work when people used to fly their family over from Middle Eastern countries for treatment and pretend they were UK citizens :mad:
    Hmmmm, Lloyds are making some of the new cuts in retail mortgage operations, which is my department ..... my change of hours might be more of a cut than I asked for !!!!!! Hopefully not, as they are only getting rid of 920 and there are thousands of us !!

    MM - My sis works for HSBC and her entire building is under threat. Half of them will have to move to Birmingham (from Essex) and the other half stay on to finish off and then get made redunant - she will do the latter though as should get £6k and is hoping to find something else.

    BM - don't know what to say. Would suggest trying to reason with her just so that you can say you tried.

    Angela - no private conversations here! You just jump in hun!

    Baby Massage was FAB! Would highly recommend it to anyone who's not been. Jack was patient throughout all of it and I got some big smiles when I did his tummy, got a bit narked when I did his back but it was feed time. He's been sparko ever since but plan to do it again later after his bath and hope it knocks him out for a bit!

    Need to go and do the last bit of batch cooking - been putting it off cos it's a big piece of beef which needs cutting and I CBA!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    BM, ask then to put noise monitoring stuff in her house. They can't actually do anything about noise from children playing if it is reasonable. Some noise is to be expected in flats. My friend had the same problem.
