    Tara, I guess that was the advantage of OH being older and living alone (albeit with a longterm gf who was in the RAF living on a RAF base 50ish miles away) when I met him. He moved out of home when he was 19 and joined the RAF, so I know he can do everything household-y (faaaaar better than I can :o) and DIY stuff and is quite capable of running a house without me - he probably considers it all went wrong when I moved in :rotfl: And I suppose with owning his own home comes a good work ethic because he knows he has to have a job and do it well to have the wage to pay the mortgage! ;)

    The noise isn't as bad as it was but still they bang their front door like nothing you've ever heard, 100000000000000000 times a day as they go between each others houses from 9am - 1am on an average day.

    I've tried recording it but it just came back fuzzy lol, council haven't mentioned recording it either i thought they would have by now.

    I'm so bitter about not being eligible for a 3 bed, i have a long proven tenancy record and yet my sister :mad: was living private rented and decided she didn't wanna pay higher rent so was offered 2 houses in the most popular area of town, and accepted the 2nd. It's semi detached, 2 gardens, 3 bed, most sought after area in town - and yet her kids are 1 & 5 - so !!!!!!?? All this because she said her boyfriend was harrassing her (he didn't even live with her in the first place).

    Maybe i should get ex back, try and put his name on the tenancy, and then say he's battering me and the kids so can we have a nice 3 bed semi please thanks.
  • I think it might be something to do with the texture Glam...I can make it fresh, I will be at my big bro's house, but it would save me having to cart the powder with me!


    Interesting Tara - I couldn't agree more. So following that on does that mean that you (meaning anyone finding themselves in that situation) shouldn't stay with somebody who doesn't tick all those boxes? If they are not Mr Forever, is there any point them hanging around? I am thinking of a RL friend who appears to be seeing 'Mr Right Now' with no intention of settling with him long term...

    ...moving on!!

    I hate reins, but I will no doubt use them! One of my first memories is my mum dragging me along the road by the wrist type ones. My legs were grazed all the way down, and I had a bruise around my wrist for weeks apparantly! So obviously I am a bit prejudiced about the things. But I will use the harness type when Seth is older, and for his safety rather than as a method of dragging him along when he is tired and wont walk.

    I was once dragged around B&Q by my reins according to my mum - I don't remember but apparently I had a tantrum and sat on the floor and refused to walk! Don't think she made a habit of draggin me around places though. I don't know whether I'll want to use them with alfie.

    Jake's Mummy that's awful abotu being shouted at. I have no idea why people think doing that would be ok. Hope you are ok.

    I've been struggling to keep up here as been busy in RL, took Alfie into work yesterday ot show him off and then went for lunch with 2 friends from work.

    Can someone please tell me that the feeling that you really have no idea whatsoever what you are doing with your baby goes away??

    Going to go and read a few pages back now

    Tell them your ex came back and overdosed in your house and you've cut off all contact but are afraid he'll come back and do it again because he brought a week's worth of drugs into your house where you keep your kids and endangered them.

    Send them a copy of the police report. I favour inundation with paperwork.
