Ring the housing department, they keep a list of private landlords.

So just give them the address and tell them the issues, I'm not sure if they will give you the contact details, but it is worth a go!

It maybe that they can help with anti-social behaviour/noise pollution x

I know some councils hold list of accredited landlords but only if the landlord has joined the scheme. Not all do though:o

Sorry to hear this snap:(

Good evening

Hope all are well. I haven't caught up. It's one of my new me resolutions. Don't spend ages catching up on what I missed because I didn't have time to read in the first place to get to the end of it and realise I didn't miss anything much :o Have found that reading back a page or 2 soon reveals any glitches or major pieces of news and what will happen if I do miss anything?

Work today......people still telling me I look tired despite an extra layer of concealer. Well I am tired, I have a lot of sleep to catch up on. I did have a naughty thought of telling them all what I think they look like as well :cool:........but it was fleeting :rotfl::rotfl:

Then the school shoe trip. I got DS2 feet measured and he's a size 8 :eek::eek: his last shoes were a 6.5 and he never said a word about them being too small :o I felt awful! Don't know if he genuinely didn't know they were too small because of sensory problems etc. or just no understanding and trusts that I will buy new ones when and if he needs them :o
To be fair he's gone up 3 sizes in a year :eek: I still feel bad though and I should've performed more regular checks Childline have been informed.

I just decided to buy all the 'sundries' whilst I was out. 2 pairs school shoes, 2 pairs trainers, 2 pairs footy boots, 12 white shirts, 12 pairs boxers, 20 pairs of socks :eek:, 2 gym bags and 2 school bags _pale_
Why so many shirts? Because they are smelly with dirty necks and I can't be doing white washes mid week. So a clean shirt for everyday......I'll do the laundry at the weekend......and one for a Monday before the cleaning lady does the ironing :whistle: :A

Fun aside, I felt happy buying the stuff. For once I was happy that I'm the one kitting my kids out instead of feeling moany about how much it costs. Perspective I think

Student discount?

My plan was to register my Amex card for £50 when you spend £500 at Apple, and then use student discount. But Debenhams appear to have some good deals. It is all confusing........I think I need an excel spread sheet!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Edit... Amex have frozen my account, I have to telephone them tomorrow!

Little advice needed. dd works in a restuarant and one of the female chefs is having a problem. She keeps pretending to be having a misscarriage ( about 6 in the last 3 months ) and has started leaning on my daughter for support. She seems to be a bit of a Walter Mitty character. She got married in May so was made a big fuss off and now seems to want to get everyones attention as they are organising a hen do etc for my daughter. She always has a misscarriage on a day off and is back in work next day. She text DD tonight again to say she was on way to hospital bleeding heavily after laying groundwork earlier in the week by saying she felt sick and her boobs were hurting her. Last time it happened she was at hospital for a certain clinic and dd checked and there was no such clinic.
DD doesnt want to be her confidant and is sorry she gave her her personal no. The girls mum lives up the road from me and I am tempted to go and talk to her . What do you think

Sounds like she needs help Rose:o
I hate giving advice on stuff like this but personally I wouldn't approach her mother. Fantasising can be indicative of a deeper mental health issue which in itself needs to be handled sensitively. She could be attention seeking and unfortunately the more attention she gets, the greater her fantasies will become. Your daughter needs to be supportive but not allow herself to get caught up in the drama.

Good luck:A

I've always bought 5 of everything for my lot, my lot are stinkers and only get 1 day out of their uniforms. I do school uniforms at the weekend, wash and iron and then there are no additional dramas during the week. Getting 3 kids and a hubby up and out on week mornings is enough for me to contend with never mind having to think about, do they have clean/ironed uniforms to wear.

Do what you have to do to make life easier.

DS3 has declared that he wants an Apple laptop for his 21st birthday which is at the end of Sept.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

(he is set on the apple... I know over priced, etc)

Is he (or anybody in the family) in education as a student or staff? The apple education page is worth a visit.

If budget's tight, better might be to go online like ebay and find a reliable reseller for a not-so-new model (this'll be the only way he'll get one for under say £500.

The techie bit -he'll want one that has an intel chip with a speed of over 2Ghz and I'd imagine 4Gb of memory and probably 200Gb of storage in the hard drive. Possibly he may need a superdrive if he wants to play DVDs or CDs.

If it runs an operating system it needs to be OSX 10.10. If it isn't, check if it's upgradeable. This very website has links to useful free software.

Use auctionsniper to buy the machine if its on auction. You have to give them your ebay details but I've never had a problem.;)

They're great machines, don't currently get viruses.:T

Well done:T

I keep forgetting to check for these:o

I remember the packs of tissues a while back in A. It had been posted on here days and days before that they were glitching and I couldn't believe it when I found them. So you never know

This is my first glitch purchase :j:j


I was like a whippet at the SS trying to get them all through as quick as I could :eek:


I had to 2 transactions as 32 wouldn't fit on the scales :rotfl:

SSM....sorry I didn't get to wish all went well yesterday.....did it?

I'm guessing you must be pleased it's all over. Isn't it awful how there is such a delay between losing someone and their funeral. When I was young it used to be 3 or 4 days....just enough time to get everything organised .... I have known a recent local time lapse of nearly 3 weeks:eek: poor souls

Good to see you back, fc, I've been trying to catch up myself since I got back. :beer:

Sorry to hear about your test; it's a good thing you got the test you needed although it doesn't probably seem like that at first.
