    Darn you all - I've just had to order a Sophie now!!

    Tigs - it's a shame (sort of) that Andrew is a boy. I have a freedom sling like the others but it's pink and cream - don't think he would appreciate that! I can't get on with it and want to get a mei tai one instead. It's reversible though so you could have the cream side showing out, although you'd still see some of the pink. My fairies can send it if you like?

    GRRR, tryin to do tea and see to whingey baby (and lurk on here) all at the same time and it's NOT WORKING!!

    Oh and a wee warning for those of you with freeview tv sets. At 4am the channel that shows cbeebies shows babestaion. Guess who's 4 year old decided that 4am was a good time to climb up and put the tv on? I heard him turn it on and went through, there were 'naughty nakey ladies shaking their bums' and I couldn't rip the ariel out quick enough! Can't work out if it is the same all over or only in certain areas or he turned it over, but I put it back on at 7am and it was cbeebies again.

    Ariel will be removed at night and the power to the tv cut I think.
    I think he changed channel :) beebies (OMG I just typed boobies! :rotfl:) is a red screen all night on our freeview, I use the red glow as a lamp for feeding :cool:

    I bought a sophie too :rotfl:non of the teethers that chris liked are good enough acording to Edgar - he's a big giraffe fan.

    Well my boys were both very brave and didn't cry at the swine flu jab :T but then as soon as we got home Chris fell flat on his face on the front path :doh: he's also not getting a leapfrog scout to match Ed's violet after pulling off 2 keys off the lap top (and I can only find 1 :mad:) then pulling some of the tv cabinet stuff off too, Ed is loving violet even though she says eD-guurrr not Edgar :p
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    so managed to go out not over spend actually still have a few quid left in my purse (although i did buy myself a bottle of coke to share with philip but it fell out the buggy somewhere and was extremely annoyed £1 was wasted) came home to find a letter from london council tax apparently i owe them £381.05 and they wanted it in 7 days or im gonna be summoned to court in london ... well it was sent on the 21st so technically 3 days .. and i just burst in to tears this month i was finally gonna fall below 3k mark and im back worse off, also how the hell can i find £381.05 in 3 days i spent 2 hours, crying several times telling these people theres no way i can do it .. so in end the last guy told me i have to pay as much as i can in the time running up to the court summons i dnt have to go but once i recieve the letter saying about the summons im to call up and do a direct debit for the rest ... but means manchesters cancelled, valentines day is cancelled .. i have to save money for london as ive already paid for the tickets but i only have the money for the bus to and from the train station ....... im so gutted i have to keep stopping myself from crying why does this !!!!!! happen to me everything screws me over x

    Got my date with the PS today, 5th of March. I have a hen night on the 6th :rotfl:

    I really need to loose a stone by then, so I'm going to have to stop snacking on crap, and I'm going to low carb, not full on, but I'm going to cut out the bread/potatoes/rice/pasta at the very least.

    Still fuming about those idiots downstairs. What would it take for the council to give me a discretionary move? Ok, fair enough they haven't punched me in the face, but I really have no life here and the housing man doesn't see that.

    I can't have people around, because laughing/noise/anything, has them on the phone reporting me.

    Keira can't have friends round - too much noise

    I'm CONSTANTLY havin to tell Keira to stop running/shouting/playing/having a life because of any noise. I'm just so tired of it all, it's like our needs are coming 2nd to theirs, for fear of being reported again.

    It's awful, truly. I should be able to make a bit of noise during the day If I want. We played twister once, I fell over, and they banged up. It's a nightmare. I bet that's why my hair is falling out, I'm not joking. I noticed today my arms have broken out in Hives or something? Big red raised blotches, it's probably stress.

    I just want somewhere to live where I'm not having to tiptoe around insane people. I would rent privately to get away from this but £800 a month IS A LOT, we could JUST afford it but we'd have no money for luxarys at all really, plus most places are no pets and no smokers.

    Siiiiiiiiggggggggggggggggggh.


    Sorry haven't read back, exhausted and might go to bed, was up all night fuming, and today I've been wired again. It's not even my problem that his kitchen got a bit of water damage, I can't see through metal !!!!!!, I don't have buildings insurance because ERRR I don't own the building, I have contents only, and that boiler isn't MY content at all!

    I hate how the housing man seems to poo poo about it, it seems all he does is tell ME, what I should do to stop aggravating them. I've done everything possible, and this cat thing is seriously the last straw, they aren't even aware of their exisistence and wouldnt of been if he hadn't walked into my house uninvited.

    Plus, Keira was naked on the sofa sleepin when he came in, he could be a !!!!! for all I know.


    Do the council take bribes to move you house?

    Buttons, how are you feeling about the appointment? I was going to ask the other day when it would be. Good luck with the weightloss, you've got a good goal in sight so hopefully it'll easy.
