    Oh yeah and Jillie sorry for deleting your fb wall thing, i checked in from my phone which is slooow cos i was gonna message to explain that it was cos i didn't want people seeing "mse" in case they stalk me cos am paranoid :p

    Omg, even just telling the story has made me rage, i think i need anger management, i've properly flipped now about it. It's eating me up.

    I told the HO that if i was to go private then the expensive rent would mean it wasn't worth my time going back to work and so i'd be forced into a life of benefits and end up like the morons next door who are never gonna see a wage slip for the rest of their sad existence. I told her i HATED them and they're ruining my life and no one should have to live like this. Her only suggestion was to get someone to go clatter in their kitchen while she listens, and then somehow that's going to miraculously make them stop being noisy??? I don't fking think so. Iwas so angry that i just said i'll be happy if i never have to deal with you ever again!!!! When i told her he was squaring up to me she shook her head and rolled her eyes as if was being over the top i was like "ARE U IMPLYING I'M LYING???" She was like ok Miss Cat no need to get angry. I said there's EVERY need to get angry this has been going on since i was pregnant !!!!!!!!!! Any normal person would have lost it by now, there's only so much anyone can take.

    So i didn't hold back, and demanded to know why there'd be no acknowledgement of the letters she's received from various health professionals as surely with those backing me up i shouldn't be in Band 4 (the lowest)?? She just said "well it doesn't work like that they just go on your file but i'll see if you can be moved up a band" Oh gee thanks FINALLY.

    Oops i did say i wasn't going to be a misery guts when i came on to post :rotfl: :o

    Ooh yes - how exciting!

    We should make some stuff up ;), that'll teach her for leaving us in suspense! :p
    :beer:
  • Good luck on both counts, EA! Would you be starting your course this September? I'm jealous, I wish I was studying again.

    Hugs Beenie! I'm the same about MSE as I'd hate to have to share it with anyone I know in RL.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Holy Crap, Beenie, rock on girl!!!

    Yeah for teeth, and YAY for Joolz!!! What colour?

    Black! I paid well over the odds for it but it was the only one that had all the bits and bobs with it. It's got the purple footmuff, can't wait for it to get here! Big incentive to get out of the house everyday and make use of it, which is win win cos i need to lose weight too, and obv get away from next door :D

    Beenie good to "see" you but sorry the neighbours noise thing still hasn't been sorted out. I wonder if a letter to the local press might help?

    I dunno :( I have lost the will to fight. It totally got me nowhere losing my rag with the HO but if anything, at least she knows now how badly i'm affected rather than me being all polite and understanding like i was til now. I told her i don't see any point in fighting, they'll never change and it's both sides causing me the problem so it's easier if i just move but they're making it hard. She said well that's cos you want to live in the nicest area in town! I said well doesn't everyone! But i refuse to move somewhere i won't feel safe, and somewhere that no matter how i bring my kids up they'll be guaranteed to turn into the chavscum that they live around.

    EA i thought you were getting a 3 bed house? I can never believe the prices of rent down there, that house would be about £425pm up here. :eek:

    I think Krystal is up duff too :p

    It seems my DS has hayfever, he's never had it before but he has had eczema since he was a baby and they are linked. Had him at the walk in centre and he's been given an inhalor and doctor said there's a big chance for it to develop into asthma :( He only seems affected by his nana's garden but the after effects linger for ages, so i'm keeping him away from hers til she de-weeds her garden cos he seems ok elsewhere...

    Beenie... I'm know your situation is as horrible as it gets but will you not have a HUUUUUUUUUUGE rant and then post again.. oh by the way Titch has a tooth.. in a nice calm manner... it makes me giggle so! I hope your loss of control gets you somewhere with the housing dweebs... When I needed a house I rang every single day without fail and nagged their behind off until they gave me somewhere.. then I did the same for a friend when she was leaving her abusive husband.. you have to give them telephone abuse or they will ignore you!!

    Bruno.. BF while pg.. The milk supply drops massively by 12 weeks and picks up again by about 26 weeksish.. but isn't 'normal' until after baby arrives. If they are not getting the supply they are used to they do chew and tug at the breast and it is hair raisingly agonising. I would curl my toes and cry until the initial pain stopped.. but the second they come off again it hurts just as much. It is a case either shut up and put up or stop feeding.. it doesn't improve until the baby arrives. There were times I could happily have thrown my toddler on the floor it hrt so much.. I never did but it is really that painful. One of mine stopped bf at about 16 weeks pg of her own accord, 1 stopped 2 weeks before baby arrived and another I tandem fed the 2 for ages.. much to everyones disgust.. but it made her happy! and it was fabulous for the engorgement in the first few weeks! If there was a magic cure to stop the pain I would gladly share it.. but I have not found anything that made it better.
