April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Still no internet here have been having problems trying to get it on! Got hot water fixed today! Still no heating tho!

That's great about ds1 sleeping tho cupcake! Have you changed anything or is it just him getting older you think?

Lulu that's so cute about his nativity! I didn't know they did plays that young! Bet your glad to have some rest while dh is off! How are you feeling?

I can't help but feel a bit crap recently.... feel like things keep going wrong. No internet and no heating for a start, then the council won't even look at my application to go on the list cus my solicitor is crap and isn't sending them confirmation that my equity won't be too much, then both the dc have been ill and I have been dealing with it completely alone. I was thinking of you cupcake, when you said you had no close friends, I'm the same and it's so lonely! I had a bit of a melt down this morning and just ended up crying. Ds has a cold, diarreah, he's teething, has a chest infection and has balinitis. He is so uncomfortable and I feel awful for him but he just wants to be held 24/7 and it's impossible with dd, who has caught the cold and wants all my attention too

I got angry because stbxh is going out partying, spending his money on himself and I'm paying every penny on the dc, clothes, food, nappies etc and have just had to book someone to babysit... 8 months in advance . He has none of them worries, and he's sat in a 3 bedroom house round the corner from my family when I'm sharing one room with 2 dc in a busy Part of town so can't see my family much because of crazy traffic.

Sorry for the moan!!

It is awful when your heating and hot water go off. Our boiler went off a couple of weeks ago - but it has a Home are agreement. They came out the next day and fixed it but the house was freezing. Hope you are sorted Ducky and your internet too.
Will the council rehouse you then? They should.

DS today in the park 'Run Mummy' as he ran to the pond. He is really quite fast. I was puffed catching him. I took him out for his lunch with SIL to a local cafe and he was so good - for half an hour then he went mad to run round so we had to leave.

DH is off now until after New Year so he will be entertaining DS and giving me a bit of a break. We are going to the nursery nativity on Monday. DS is a star and they sing 'Twinkle Twinkle'. He has been practising - it comes out as 'Tinkle Tinkle Lickle star' and then he gets odd words of the rest. VEry cute.

Was meant to get internet yesterday, they couldn't do it because they need to do something underground to connect it! Have brought internet for the night tho.

They said it's unsuitable because there is no parking, i have to park on a busy main road and try and get both the dc out the car, then there are big concrete steps up to the flats then steep steps down to where I am which are really difficult to get up and down carrying the car seat and helping ds

I'm also pretty annoyed, we have no heating because the landlord can't be bothered to pay to get it fixed so have these ugly heaters everywhere, and two days ago I lost my hot water, I have to wait until Thursday to get it fixed

Oooh I would love a carvery right now! How does ds1 sleep now cupcake?

Cupcake, That is awful about the house!!!! Wtf did they do that for, they knew your circumstances!!! I can't beleive how hard it is to get private rented now a days. that is ridiculous about putting a Facebook status up! They're his kids for god sake!

Lulu, it sounds very festive in your house! Lots of trees are bil and sil settling in ok too?

Get proper internet on Monday!!! I can't wait! Have also had the council housing people out, they said before they even come in it was unsuitable for children here, but is better than nothing. I love it inside, although it's very very small, it's nice. But it's just getting in and out because it's a basement flAt with no lift.

Ds is very excited for Christmas! He loves santa. And dd is a month old already!!

Have been having quite a few problems with stbxh though the cat is still at his house, i can't have her as I'm in a basement flat right on a busy main road, he keeps threatening to have her put Down

His mom, who didn't bother getting ds anything for his birthday (he was two the other week!!) is saying she wants to see them again now and I got a message this afternoon saying tomorrow! I have said no because I am busy and haven't heard any more.

It would cost a fortune to take them to court.

Will your landlord let you stay in your house now? Did you go and see him?

Have you got your £2000 back off them?

It's awful.

That's awful! Do you think your landlord will say yes?

Oh no Cupcake!
How did that happen? If you have signed the contract and paid a deposit surely they can't back out.

We have put our tree (branch thing) up. It is lovely. DS just sat gazing at it with big eyes when he was ready for bed. Soooo cute. We have put it in the kitchen/breakfast/sofa room , and a small one in the dinng room, a small one in the conservatory and we are putting our big proper tree in the sitting room. We haven't put it up for a couple of years because it is stupidly big but DH has put it together tonight and I will decorate it tomorrow. DS will need keeping an eye on with it I think. He can't quite reach the branches on the branch thing. It is on a large square coffee table in a corner and just out of his reach, but he'll be all over the tree, one of the cats is in it as we speak.
He has learned Little Donkey but just repeats 'lil okney' all the way through. He is so cute. Still has no idea about presents or Santa but DH read him The Night Before Christmas tonight - he sat very quietly and then said 'Me tired' - no real interest.

DH is having snacks and a bottle of beer and I am having a mug of cappucino.Exciting night in the north-east. Baby has been moving.

orchestrated, not or hestrated

Turns out our new shed roof leaks. DH and BIL out there replacing it with DS looking on and being unhelpful. DH has not got a clue- he is doing as he is told by BIL. I am making cheese scones as a treat with their coffee. This is what I hate about moving house - when the faults start to appear

Cupcake - what a wimp! Men!

Ducky- you are so well-rid of that one. Although, I imagine his return with a floosie was or hestrated so you would witness it, be jealous and wish he was all yours, NOT.

Ffs cupcake how was it in the end?

Did the poor soldier cope,

10 days until I get internet!

I think dd has an allergy, she's been very unsettled.

Arranged to take the kids to stbxh this morning, which he wasn't happy with as 'it's too early and he needs sleep'. Arranged to take them at 9.30.... he stumbled in at 9.30 from a party he'd been at all night with one of the girls he'd been messaging. The house is filthy too.

19 weeks Ducky. Almost half way!

I had some bleeding with DS Cupcake but it was nothing. TBH I am not bothered about anyone noticing or not that I'm pregnant. I think you get a bit sick of people asking eventually- I do anyway. SIL seems to be fine but she has had bad morning sickness. She is hoping it stops before Christmas.

DS has been happy all day today, not a whinge out of him! All smiles and giggles.

Hi guys

Just checking in! Still waiting for internet

Cupcake, are you moving far? How exciting in time for Christmas I had blood with dd 2, they couldn't see where it had come from, but it was old blood not fresh. Maybe give mw a call?

Lulu, glad dh is feeling better. How many weeks are you now? How is sil pregnancy going?
