    GB I know what you mean, but with DP working late nights on the taxis it's usually just me and the kids with the door locked. I'm always worried about him (has been attacked once before) and everyone else. I get really jumpy this late at night. TBH the family can be a right pain, I think the police are there 24/7 almost, they have a parking space on their drive reserved I am sure, her mother wouldn't have came round as we've had 'words' recently when her abuse caused a neighbour to move, but she also knows I wouldn't say no when it comes to that sort of thing, don't think anyone would.

    Getting really cold here, have popped the heating on for a little while, mainly because I have stupidly left the dogs bed out in the rain and need to get it dry, it had stopped raining when I put it outside for airing!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Obviously problems there sweatheart. Not sure where you live but fortunately we don't have that round about us. Sorry you have had problems and DH out on the taxi - I can understand. I didn't mean to make light of your problem.

    Love

    No definately weren't, it's just me being a big softy when it comes to DP and the others, the taxi has only been one incident in 3 years. He was punched in the side of the head through the window, thankfully his hearing has come back now. Downside is me being the worrying type (always told I worry enough for everyone, about everyone) every time the phone rang for weeks when he went back to work I was a nervous wreck! DP has been good about it, he doesn't seem bothered about work and it happening again, but rings me regular when he's at work, so I don't worry too much. Saying that sometimes has opposite effect if he mentions any trouble in town etc or if he wakes me up when I have gone to bed earlier :rolleyes: saying that rarely can sleep early, hence on here a lot late evenings. His boss has even said 'I'm polishing my body armour' beause he's working tomorrow night as DP is away :rotfl: he is much more nervous than DP about working nights.

    That family thankfully are the only ones, hence next door house empty, don't think anyone wants to live in it, and can't say I blame them tbh following what's happened before.

    Hugs to those who need them. Some of you seem to really be having a rough time.

    Baby girl is a little better today. Last night was horrible - she was sick and sick and then sick some more. Tossed and turned all night long. She is cooler today and smiled and giggled when I did favourite nursery rhymes, walkie round the garden etc.

    DH has taken the big boys to watch wrestling. So glad I booked it ages ago before I was ill. The kids have had a rotten half term. Looking forward to spoiling them rotten.

    Big girl has slipped out to the chemist when I was asleep and dyed her lovely caramel hair black!!!!!

    Can't wait to be back in the land of the healthy!

    Just hang in darling. DP shouldn't have to had to suffer either. Not easy but keeping an eye on you! Do we ask what has gone on next door? Don't tell if too painful.

    Basics, started off previous neighbour moved because of verbal abuse from the family, then most recent one they were threatening to do all kinds, throwing things at the windows etc, she left fleaing through my garden when they left so her and her little ones were not seen. Not a nice situation at all. Garden fence in the garden next door just been replaced as that was destroyed, had to call council on Thursday as window had been put out aswell. Don't get any hassle from them myself, apart from the spot lamps on my Jeep have been smashed lately but can't prove who done it, lots of local kids hang about.

    Thankfully DP is a big guy and doesn't usually get any hassle, just that time he was sat down. Thanks for your supportful comments, it means a lot when you feel such a sap like I do now. This was a photo taken a week after the incident http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/lil_me/Picture001.jpg his ear was black inside for weeks. He couldn't sleep properly etc. Was cut aswell off where the bluetooth headset I'd just bought him was in his ear. All happened because the person who did it thought he was in queue first and was arguing with who he thought had jumped the queue. Then punched DP for it when he'd not even said anything. Unluckily police thought they had caught him but was wrong person, so idiot has never been caught!

    Kyle, I am sure it'll get easier, you know you can beat it :) Milk there was a thread recently, I pay 75p a litre for delivered milk, but it's not daily here. I have doubled it for next week as that's when my 2 are off school. Always use more then.

    sahmx5 pleased to hear the little one is better

    Promised I'd be quick so Good night all

    Sorry - just realised today is Saturday - posted on wrong day Dhu!
