  • I had some similar thoughts however if Susan is to continue as Beenie's support/independent witness then does she have a right to request not to have to deal with that particular housing officer?

    I was trying to think how to make it fit and I think you have it there!

    Perhaps something along the lines of:

    Due to the ongoing and upsetting nature of this complaint it is highly likely that I will continue to provide support to Ms Cat and may be present for future meetings/visits. I would therefore request a different Housing Officer be allocated to the case to prevent any future prejudice.

    Or something!!

    off to pick up Jack from creche - he's not eaten, hardly napped and been really whingey and had to be held all day. Not like my boy at all :(

    Docs can't fit us in until 5.20pm which is a PITA so I'll take him home for some Mummy cuddles.

    It looks nice in the pics! Apart from the decor :eek: I'm not surprised you decorated!!
    Did you have to get permission to do it?

    There is nothing here in Fareham for us :( so we might go over your way a bit if nothing comes up. OH works at QA so it wouldnt be so bad for him, but I work here and would have to pay for travel :(

    It does look nice doesn't it? Most of it is clever photography and well lighting.

    Someone took it anyway so its off the market now :j

    I celebrated by having a McDonalds and buying Lily this

    :( Just see that they do it in pink, i got it in blue. Oh well, my boy can use it when i eventually have him :D

    EDIT Susan did you say anything to the housing officer at the time?
    Thanks for the improvements.

    No - I didn't say anything at the time because she said it as she was leaving the room, I was so shocked and I was concentrating on paying close attention to what she was doing/saying wrt the noise test and didn't want to create a big distraction in the middle of it.

    should that say listening not listened?
    I think I was writing "were listening" and then changed to "listened" but forgot to delete the "were".
