Sorry to hear about the house Delain. It's a pity you aren't here. A 4 bed is about £580 per month.

The weather here is still great and looks to be that way over the bank holiday weekend. DH & I have done a 4 mile walk every day for the last week with the LO in the buggy.

There is a huge 4 bed/3 rec. rooms up the road from me for £600 a month too with a big garden and just been all done out after a family of druggies were kicked out and their children taken into care

That is very sad

I may well end up being your neighbour with prices like that!

I suspect you're not that far from my paternal family so I expect they would like that :rotfl:

You are quite correct on the housing benefit. My current house is cheap for the area. A letting agency is letting a very similar one (almost identical) that faces the park not the road for £895 :eek: and we've only got 2 rooms downstairs including the kitchen (which is not big enough for even a small table - if it was that would make the house much nicer instead of having to have it in the lounge) and a garden that could chariably be described as a postge stamp.

It is but they were very neglected.. 2 little boys with terrible terrible tooth decay at 4 and maybe 6 and were roaming the streets as late as midnight in all weathers and their little brother who was just a few months old I hope they are happy wherever they are now.

I imagine the 6 year old will have a hard time adjusting to a more normal routine now. Sometimes the powers that be let it go on too long

That's sad about the children pigpen. Hopefully they will have found somewhere loving now and they are getting looked after properly.

Just had a look to see what was available for rent in our village, but there are only 1 bed flats available for around £400 a month.

They look like terraced houses from the outside but they are actually 1 or 2 bed flats. The groundfloor flats have a back garden. It's James ambition to buy one when he's a bit older, and he's going to have Charlotte round for her tea some nights

They cost around £70,000 - £90,000 to buy, so he'd best get saving!

Hi,
Hope you don't mind me popping on to the thread asking a couple of daft questions... Have been taxing my (new-mum) brain and looking on the net trying to figure out the English word for this baby chair thing

What I wanted to look up/read about was how old babies have to be to sit in one. I think I read somewhere that it was from 3 months, but I've seen other chairs where it says suitable from birth. The one in the link is pretty much the one I've got, but it doesn't say anything on there (it was given to us by a friend).

Our LO is 9 weeks old and in the last week or so I can tell he can see much further, follows us with his eyes, etc and the last couple of days he seems to really like watching me do things (eg. today I was folding washing and tidying up next to where he was lying in his playpen)

that one is from birth it has clip to lower the back so it is flatter for younger babies.. actualy it states 5 days as far as I can tell.
