MSE Parents Club Part 9

Buttonmoons

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.

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.

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!
