The situation with the council sounds absolutely dire. How can they deny you the ability to build on your own land 😡
I hope the period pains get better soon 🙏
Sounds like a pretty carp day apart from
the fizz and chocolates.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
That's just so dire.
Any point in trying your new MP? Worth googling Minister for housing?

Actually minister for housing sounds like a good idea, pity I can't supply the boot. They are dragging things out so much it is unconscionable. I'll have to check the spelling there but I am sure it will come in handy sometime but it is only 13 letters. Todays was 17 they only had 15. Recategorisations they didn't have the re. The clue was EGO. As far as I can see the answer is to think of a word that has the appropriate letters in & then add prefixes & suffixes. A reasonable defense against dementia, at my age you take anything you can get. So I now need to do my other thing re avoiding age decrepetation (sp) another 4.5k steps to do with at least 30 mins of them continuous.

Housing Minister is Matthew Pennycook. Worth a try.
It makes me realise how privilaged I am to live in a house that is perfect for my needs & that is now mortgage free.

Thanks @Sun_Addict, and they haven't even denied us so we can't even appeal! I think they're either just ignoring us cos we're not rich or they're hoping we'll give up and sell the land to a housing developer and they'll be able to brag about how great 'they've' been providing all this new housing. Tbh that makes me motivated not to give up even if we have a sh*t life, like f*ck am I enabling them to look good 😂
@beanielou same MP unfortunately and it's not possible to go direct to Minister for Housing, would need to be through MP (who has ignored us after we queried the council response where they just lied to the MP)
Very glad for you you're safe from housing palaver!
Great work keeping mind and body as supple as possible @badmemory I occasionally do wordle but only when someone mentions it and I get competitive 😁 Might have a wee go at it now actually, since I've mentioned it and it's therefore technically a competition to see if I can report back and not be ashamed 😂4 -
Got it in three, pleased with that and allowed back onto my own diary 😂4

I've never tried wordle just wordiply. I should have a go shouldn't I.

I'm addicted to Wordle - gets my brain going first thing! Getting it in three is brilliant!

I did - sigh of relief, not in three mind you but it was my first go, that's my excuse.
