Nice People 12: Nice in Nice

SingleSue

Finally caught up!

Been an eventful and stressful week or so, youngest had fall out from his visit to the college last week which culminated in him refusing to leave the house at all and completely locking himself away. This had the knock on effect that he missed his leavers assembly with the traditional shirt signing etc that goes with it.

Josh is also stressed out which resulted in an aggressive outburst on Thursday night.

I also got stressed out as there was a malicious report about me which meant that the housing association wanted to do a house visit. The report was completely unfounded but it added stress on all of us that was not needed and contributed to youngest's stress levels (he doesn't like people in the house and it was on the day when he was at his most stressed)

Saying all that though, there was a positive outcome from the visit...they are talking about finally giving me the kitchen they promised 16 years ago, putting up an extra handrail on the stairs as my mobility is reduced, changing my boiler to a more efficient one and putting in a more disability friendly bath to make things easier.....not the result the neighbour was going for! :rotfl:

Had my first B12 shot today.

Thought about how trivial my health stuff is compared with Gen, lir and Spirit, and wondered whether to bother posting about it, but decided we've been over this ground before and everyone always says post anyway. Hope that's OK.

It is not trivial at all. I would not swap places. All your challenges you have to tackle by yourself.

Whatever I face I have my lovely husband alongside me. It does not make me well, but does make me happy.

So sorry to hear that Sue. As if life isn't challenging enough without others going out of their way to make it worse.
Hope that the improvements materialise.

Can youngest still get his shirt signed? From all you've said, I bet everyone at school would love to sign it for him.

Is the neighbour a new thing Sue? Can't remember you mentioning them before. Glad to hear the visit was positive.

Here are my ickle lavenders:


Not quite taking over the place (yet )

There should be Hidcote (purple), pink, white and light purple lavenders. We shall see how many survive long enough to make it into the ground!

Have you potted them up into larger pots (probably 3" ones)?

Yup - I ventured out at about 9pm last night to pot them up!

And here they are now:


Think most of the pots are 2" rather than 3, but they'll have to do for now.

To be honest, he is not all that bothered about the shirt signing..I think I am more gutted than he is!

Fair enough. It's a shame he missed out, but if he's not too bothered then that's definitely for the best!

I've still got my signed shirt from leaving school - somewhere in my wardrobe at my parents' house.

Sue - re: neighbour and proposed improvements. I believe that is what they call karma. :dance:
