sorry you are hving a pants day SM. Hugs to you. Maybe if that ebaying goes well that will help you a bit. I know it won't cover everything but it might ease the strain a little.

Hugs to Philip too, hope he is not too upset about the job.

((hugs)) Buttons...Is there nothing cheaper than £800pm in your area? I'm sure if yo ulooked hard enough you would find something....It might be seriously worth considering. I know when we visit MIL I am always on edge because she lives in an upstairs flat and I am paranoid about the kids making too much noise. We used to live in a ground floor flat below a family and I must admit it was horrible with the kids running around etc I never complained because at the end of the day it couldn't be helped, just the crap thing about living 'below' people!!! It did sound as though they had a herd of elephants up there, but if they were only making day to day noise, as I am sure you are then the council shouldn't be taking their side against yours..... I hope you get something sorted and possibly move asap:)

((hugs))SM - Sorry you are having a bad day.. Have you spoken to the council and established that they are right in saying you owe this money...could it be a mistake? If it is right that you owe it then you need to put a complaint in to find out why you weren't aware that this arearrs was building up!! Keep copies of any letters you send/take in as you can take them to court with you. Also don't panic, my friend fell into arrears and went to court, the judge just sorted out a reayment schedule for her that she could afford...although it was if she didn't pay that then back to court for possible sentence...It never came to that because as I say the judge had set up the repayments at a rate she could afford. It is not the end of the world honestly.

While I was pregnant with Kai I had absolute hell with our council, I had to have interviews under caution, investigations and all sorts going on....for something that was their mess-up....didn't get thoroughly sorted as it ended up one word against another so we came to a comprimise.... Chin up and I'm sure you will get it sorted amicably with them.

Do the council take bribes to move you house?

If you find out let me know - i'm desperate to move too, except i'm the man downstairs :rotfl:

My neighbours have improved a bit really, but still hate living here, i want to punch their faces in. The walls were never this thin til they moved in, apparently my hearing became super sensitive after 7 years of normality. I'd expect noiseif it were a flat though, so your downstairs bloke sounds a !!!!!!.

Lots of generous fairy offers on this thread today!

Bit peed off at my mate, i hardly see her - saw her a few weeks ago and she took my huggies voucher and said she'd get my nappies. Well weeks have passed and her bf dropped the voucher off today, no nappies. I couldhave got them myself ages ago, and now she's almost too big for them anyway

Buttons you need to get another sprog knocked out, they'd give you a house then wouldn't they?

i have a three way carrier that is from mothercare (i bought it off ebay) but i am assuming would be too big also??? if you want it just to see, you are more than welcome to it

Thanks for the offer Angel, but the one I have is from Mothercare. Andrew disappears down inside it, and also sits really uncomfortably as it pushes his wee legs too far apart! It'll probably be fine for him in another 3lb or so time!

:grouphug: Big, gentle hugs to all, especially sparkle, cazscoob and SM x

:happyhear Gorgeous pics SS and Harley and the new avvys posted are mega cute too

David slept all night in his cot for the first time last night!!!!! He woke up every 3 hours (almost to the minute - how does he do that?????) for a feed but went straight back to sleep :j

I am obviously not looking for medical advice but I have a stabbing pain in my breast and David has a few blisters on his bottom but isn't struggling to feed - could this be thrush?

Tigs I have a sling similar to the one posted earlier. Will try and hunt it out, when i get home. Will pm you if i find it. And if my memory allows me to remember to look for it.

Thank you!

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?

Thanks for the offer - but I shall pass because of the "pink"ness!

LOL Susan - is that your diplomatic way of saying 'I don't agree'

If we were all the same it would be very boring!

No, I just wanted to acknowledge your having written an explanatory reply for me as you may not see that I clicked the thanks button but couldn't think of anything else to say about it. The only way we knew about Alice's teeth was by checking in her mouth so I have no experience of teething or teethers.

I liked your extension BTW

Sometimes I consider writing silly things in the extension but I thought that some people might read them.

SM hugs for you and Philip. Im not sure what to say but hope it gets sorted for you.

Harley that links driving me daft! I dont know how they do it but I keep giving it one more try.

Tigs have you got a market near you or a fabric shop? A stretchy type wrap sling may suit Andrew, Isla was in hers at about 3 days old when she weighed 7lb 6. I just got four metres of stretchy cotton jersey fabric off my market for £3 and cut to size, no sewing required and a very mse version of a kari-me
