good luck with the allotment person Lyn.

I had a blazing row with DS this afternoon. I rang the estate agents back from yesterday she did not even knowledge that she had sent us too the wrong one never mind appologise. She could fit us in at 2.15 there was no one available any earlier. I repeated it back to he and DS walked into the room and absolutely screamed at me about the time as it was not before two. 15 minutes is nothing when most expect us to only do weekends and evenings. I felt embarrassed.

She said she will ring back but she did not. I let him have all my pent up frustration of him not taking me into consideration at all and he knows he can't have anything like what he wants without me. He got it in the neck for shouting and interrupting me on the phone every time I try to make an appointment. He will not do any research demands a quality bigger than average 3 bed semi with a garage every time.

Yet when I found just that in the same area he wants he would not go and see it because he wanted one that was about 500 yards nearer to work and when at other times he would have turned it down because the little bedroom was too small for his desk. I don't think he wants anywhere.

Tonight after he went to bed I did a new search. I found the worst house I have ever seen in 50 years of looking at houses. It had a boat at the front big enough for us all. I expect if it ever goes out it needs a police escort it is so wide and it is on a huge trailer so the two cover up the house. I could not work out what room was what.

The living room had, had the chimney breast made round a bit like a round bay window as yes as big. It had three cubbie holes in it. there was some sort of fire at the bottom, remember when the old TV sets before they went slim, the biggest one of those was shoved into the middle one and I think some sort of video recorder up near the ceiling. The whole thing was pained shocking pink. The two chairs in front of it looked like they were old car seats out of a Ferrari or some other expensive Italian sports car.

I could not find a kitchen and I never found a proper bathroom. In what looked like the master bedroom was an enormous S shaped shower cubicle you could have got three or four people in it. on one wall were two more cubbie holes, one I think is a washbasin with a high mixer tap above it. It was way above my head. This room was painted electric blue. I don't know what it was near the ceiling.

I sent it to DS's mobile he will get the details on his way to work. Serves him right.

There is nothing but a racket going on upstairs they have been as loud as ever. The kids have been waking me at 5 am every morning. Someone is banging like putting up flat pack furniture or shelves or something for the last half hour. That is what they call being quiet.

I hope it amuses you all. I nearly sent him a house with red white and black striped carpets and dinner plate sized red flowers on the wall paper. This carpet is all over but the kitchen and bathroom even the stripes going up and down the stairs.

An early night for me.

I've been having a think NM . Could you try calling his bluff ? I've just been looking online at 1 bed ground floor flats in Bolton . Some clean and decent to rent and many of the prices are affordable .
I'm not sure if you have a printer now but if you do look at a few you would like within budget and print them off.
You're obviously very hurt and upset now . Arguing with those we hold nearest to our hearts is devastating . Maybe looking at single property may focus his mind on your need to leave where you are now for the sake of your health and peace of mind .
He can't keep putting barriers in the way . Your health can't stand anymore of this situation , it's gone on far too long and things need sorting now .
He isn't thinking logically at this point at all . As the light nights come along he will get less sleep than he does now as the noise escalates both indoors and out .
I really hate to see you so hurt and upset . Feel free to ignore this post . Just thinking aloud .
