Thanks mrs. P

I'm due back next Thurs. Eating everything on the other side of the mouth . Still painful . I had some root canal treatment a few weeks ago, but not as painful as this . Having said that, it is a triple root canal treatment . I'll get there eventually .:(

So, judging by the way I've been feeling all week last night just before going to bed , I decided to have a large neat Jameson's .
It's a trck I learned from my brother to help prevent any cold or flu coming my way .

In bed I felt great afterwords but very hot. Not uncomfortable but hot and comfortable . I had a great sleep...for 3 hours!
Trying to get to the kitchen to get an orange juice was hard work .
Managed to do that around 4.30 am .
This meant that I still felt good .
Normally I jump out of the bed around 730 am these days
( makes a change from 5am ) . I struggled to get out around 9am

The pain from the root canal treatment seems to be subsiding now .
I won't say too much just yet .
I've been taking 2. Ibuprofen 1 st thing in the morning and at bedtime

I have one or two issues with the communal area outside my door:

As I was the last person to move into the block of three, I went with how everything was. Keeping the peace and being good natured I ignored the child's bike just inside the main door.
However, this evening I saw a large pram outside my door.
I thought about it for a while, before moving it to the staircase.
Its not fair . Plus if I give those people an inch....
Not only that , but if the new tenants move in whenever, they may start using the communal area like a dumping ground .
The good news is, it has been moved/ folded.
I had a couple of large items outside my door for an hour on Monday/ Tuesday to be collected by Ebay buyers. Wouldn't have any chance this evening,

Next point about the communal area is that , I now. know who the junk mail is for and only leave the mail for the people upstairs and the woman who has left. She comes and picks up . The rest I redirect .
It is something they should have done . Lazy bar stewards.
I also now , immediately chuck all the flyers / local newspapers into the recycling bin. So at last the communal area looks tidy.
I even vacuum the communal area .

I do love the flat , but I have a feeling I will have to look over my shoulder so to speak , and hope the next people that do move in are a decent coulple/ tenant.
I have a feeling that the Sri Lankan couple may be dss.
The woman with the 2 kids that left may also have been.
It's a nice flat but I don't really want to move again just yet .

AC this is the problem with flats and communal living. I did it myself in my early 20's (out of necessity as it was all I could afford at the time) - never again - houses/bungalows all the way for me.

Surely you can't afford to move again? At least, not in the same area. And this is one of the downsides of living in a flat, along with noise and service charges.

AC , so what if they're DSS? Is that always a bad thing? 😩
Are you feeling a bit poop this week? Huggles if so x

Had a thought about things and I was probably being a bit dramatic about the flat . I think I did the right thing by moving the pram , rather than let it be part of the norm. The child's bike is still there, but that's not really an issue. Live and let live .
I will have to hope that the new neighbours when they come are professional people If they aren't then I'll just send an email to the managing agents should any problems be encountered ,who seem to be on the ball with memos / complaints etc.
It's a bit disappointing that not all 3 flats are bought with the original owners intact .

I had a few ciders with my friend yesterday .First time in about a month. Went to bed at a very early part of the evening .,which is why I'm writing this now so early in the morning Tooth pain seems to have gone.

Make a note of the lettings agents who are advertising the flat. If there are any problems with the new tenants, you could contact the agents and put in a complaint. At least antisocial tenants can be evicted. Not all home owners are nice people, you could get stuck with an owner who's antisocial and it would be a lot harder to deal with! So look on the bright side.
