    did those letters of complaint work?

    No! The only reason i've been offered this is cos my mam lives there and they are big on "community links", nothing to do with my neighbour situation. I am not going to dwell on the fact i didn't apply sooner :mad: But it's done now and i didn't expect to get offered a house within days :eek:

    my friend has that one!!

    she loves it. i had a push while i was still pg and loved it but it ws too wide to get in our house....stupid house!!

    think you need to egt to an independant pram shop to try them out :D

    the only independant we've ever been to were a bit pushy iyswim and i didnt really feel comfortable despite telling him to leave us alone (in a more polite way).
    We tried this out in mothercare but DH had preferred the quinny.... I dont remember it being that wide :eek: have to look at dimensions again versus what we've got....

    Does that mean you need to get the decorating finished really quickly then? Because I can come and help you as long as it's just painting and not wallpapering. (Because wallpapering is too hard.)

    :D Well my strange friend got loads done Tues so all the walls are painted i was going to give one side another coat for perfection reasons but fook that now!!

    You can buy one of those things that fix on the taps and put up a shower rail, then buy oil filled radiators to get around the heating.

    Omg i need to chill, until i have the keys it's not guaranteed is it!

    I will have to give the council 4 weeks notice anyway so no rush :eek:

    The workmen are round that estate now measuring for new kitchens and bathrooms so they'll be putting showers in, if they're like the council this will be in 2014 or something :rotfl:

    I'll be so glad to be away from the council and that woman, and their sheer incompetancy
