sorry for the selfish rant, i know there are more serious probs rather than me feelign left out.

Beenie- hope things work out ok for you today

Boogers, Jillie - but you have us to talk to instead

I'm going to call the landlords and tell them that although we can't prove it was him that called the police there's no one else it could be, and I'd like them to make a note of it since I'm concerned that his harassing behaviour is escalating and because I work in a psych unit I am well qualified to spot escalation when I see it and need it noted in case things get worse.

thanks ss!

just rang 2 more nurseries. and one is full already for may :eek:

so going to visit the other one tomorrow.

then i need to worry about where i'm going to get the deposit from. cos from the sounds of it i cant wait till beginning of april like i was hoping to.

just spoke to a lovely lady who does childminding.
i di mention bout her a week or so ago as she's newly registered, but she has been in childcare for 12 years and used to manage a nursery as well (last 6 years). she can be flex although her prices are fab. 3 days is cheaper than 2 days nursery. and this would mean that DH doesnt have to have a set day off work if need be.

need to get back to her as she is on mat leave till july but she's had loads of enquiries and is prob going to start from May which would suit us!!
so definitely need to get my hours sorted at work on Tues. am going to visit this lady with DH in next week as well. she sounded fab on the phone and has a little baby boy and a 7 year old girl. she is only advertising for 4 places and said that she can be flexible with her work as her DH works shifts and is mostly out till 9pm.

fingers crossed this might be the one!!

SS, you terrible mother! How dare your child be teething and crying! What a turd, hope his next !!!! is a hedgehog.

Jillie, your childminder sounds perfect, hope it works out.

We went to the council tax office only for it to be closed every wednesday, what the hell point is that? So outdated!

And, buying 1000 glow in the dark starts for the boys bedroom ceiling sounds a good idea, but in reality I've not even managed 1 sheet and I'm bored with sore shoulders and dizzy from the ladders.

I know, and what's most annoying is that aside from the last 2-3 days she almost never cries, or if she does she stops as soon as she sees someone looking in her direction. I'm so angry and so upset.

Duly noted about the sticky stars. I bought OH a laser star projector because the stars move around across the ceiling and while I knew he'd like it in the short term I thought it would make an excellent nightlight for Molly's room when we manage to sort her out one.

Ohh!!! Do they actually work well? I would like to get one for the boys (DS1 is very into astronomy).

And don't be upset, you must be very interesting for him to want to spend a lot of time trying to annoy you.

Krystal, I had the strangest dream that we met and you told me you were pg??? Need to get something off your chest?

Well I definitely wasn't pregnant on Monday... Although it's been about 4 weeks since last AF and about 2 weeks since hubby took advantage of me being carried away in the moment... So who knows...

Window fitters have gone, Caitlyn's fallen asleep in the jumperoo... I just remembered it's swimming night and I don't know when the bathroom fitters will be gone by... Although I can hear my new toilet flushing... I do hope they hurry up... Otherwise I'll have to go to Paul's house... :cool:

Tia, you don't need step ladders... Just jump on the bed to reach the ceiling

Right, DS1 is off to an adventure play area with the anchor boys at 4.30 - 6.30pm. I've got to take him down. Usually I would just come home but with the road works the 15min journey is now closer to 35mins. So do I just pay for DS2 to get in but then DS2 will try chasing DS1 who will be there with his mates or deal with a screaming DS2 (he will scream when he realises he's not going in) and go see the MIL? I've got a feeling a few parents will be hanging around...
