Yeah, well we bath her once a week We wash her hair when she's bathed with johnsons as its always greasy! As she has so much hair and its getting longer now, people feel the need to run their greasy hands and fingers through it. And it starts to smell

I probably would too because I have 'babies with hair' envy.

I'd give the olive oil a go - you would probably have to change her bedding in the morning though.

Oh! I've just had it confirmed that next door DO slam their door excessively.

3 of the birthday cards just fell off the mantlepiece following one of the usual bangs.

I'm writing an email to the housing officer to ask her to let me move. Tbh it leaves my house free for someone else so it's surely no skin of their nose? Both are same size etc.

But i don't know what to write???

I know the house i want is vacant, and the HV has written a letter of support advising them i'm vulnerable to DV in this house..

I fail at words.

Aless - am picking up Always on route and if I remember correctly we both have the same pushchairs so should be easy to spot with our black and beige maclarens lol. I've never seen the bf area cos like you ha e never had cause to look but think I remember seeing microwave etc neat the tills for the restaurant.

Elle/SS - love ikea having such good facilities our mothercare has a seat in the stinky loo for bf'ing!

aless - som with her pushchair and me with a [horned devil] gorgeous son in a baby bjorn. How young can you leave them in the ball pit???? Tom was a bleedin nightmare last night, coupled with DP deciding Monday night was a good night with a swift half (or rather not so swift and most definitely not half) on the way home all not well with me last night.

TMI alert
DP and I have decided to TTC again sooner rather than later but we've only dtd about twice since Tom arrived as my drive is so low, tell me this is normal?!

Dear Housing Officer,

I'm writing as a follow-up to previous letters and requests both from myself and my health visitor, Xxx Yyy.
For the reasons outlined in those communications (my abusive ex-partner who knows the address and has both assaulted me and brought illegal hard drugs into the house with my baby and young son; and deteriorating relations with my neighbours and their excessive noise levels, which are a major problem with young children), I am seeking urgently to move.

I know that Xxx Yyy has written to confirm the extreme stress I am under and the damage my circumstances are doing to my children on a daily basis. I have identified a property (123 ABC Lane) which is currently vacant, and would be able to accommodate me and my young family immediately. Please let me know whether a move to this property is possible, or what next steps I would need to take to get the necessary approvals, as for me this is a matter of extreme urgency.

Thanks in advance and I will follow up by phone on x/y/2010 to discuss further, or please feel free to phone any time in working hours on 123456789.

? Shrug. Could definitely be made better if the approach is important, I'd tend to think it's just an opening gambit before speaking directly to them anyway though?

elle_gee

always, did you see my suggestion of asking for a job share arrangement before you go straight for handing your notice in? Though if you're TTCing maybe it's not so much of an issue..

On a :money:note, Netto have the Pampers wipe tubs with a 63pk of Sensitive wipes for £1 from Monday 26th April

Totally. We're not trying-trying but not not-trying, IYSWIM, and my drive is intermittent at best, and if my ten-minute window of interest is inconvenient it could be days or a couple of weeks before I perk up again.

Excellent letter, Bruno. What he said.

My powerpoint is more than half done,* my tea was finished and the troops are napping before we tackle the industrial park. AND I am currently a third of the way down a second uninterrupted cup of tea.


*I've already done the last slide because it says "thank you for your attention" and includes a gratuitous baby photo :rotfl:

EA - Just put baby oil on the cradle crap bits on lilys head, leave it to soak in overnight or during the day, get a baby comb and backcomb the scabs off. It's a very satisfying thing, seeing the whole thing lift off :rotfl: I was quite sad that Keira's never came back after that!!

BeenieCat

Bruno THANK YOU so much!! I've just sent the letter via email so hopefully this will get me somewhere, or at least make her realise that i'm not going to go away. As i type this i can feel my blood boiling cos next door are blasting their bang bang music.

Seriously. Her kid is 2 weeks old and she plays her music this loud !!!!!!?!
