I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

Okay, first question: What should I wear to my cousin's wedding?

What's a good rainy day activity for a toddler?

Email politicians in your area letting them know that the climate crisis is a priority that will be influencing how you vote. And email companies indicating how your shopping choices are influenced.
Once you have the bones of an email you can just tweak it here and there but even sending one a week is worthwhile because we need to be able to make better choices than the ones available.

I know it’s not quite what the thread is about but it’s an easy enough habit to establish.

She doesn't sound lovely at all - she's not replying to your calls / emails, she's not sending things to the bank in a timely manner, and she's now phoning you sounding "pissed off"?

Sounds like the mortgage is nearly over the line so I would leave it be but definitely wouldn't use her again.

Other option if you really wanted to go

You book a hotel room near by, Husband and baby stay there, and you pop back, husband comes to you and you feed baby
Ofcourse, not ideal

reskiming, just fill the holes with either easifill or the gyproc stuff they use to fill plasterboard joints on dry lining ( can’t remember the name ). Get a screwdriver and screw the screws in a bit deeper before you fill over them, it will make the hole a bit deeper and give the filler better adhesion.

This sounds like breeding behaviour for this time of year and will go away by itself in a few weeks. If there are plenty of plants they can hide if truely distressed though. You could get a few more to spread out the harassment and they do like living in groups anyway
