No one's children are more important than anyone elses... no one has the right to something other another because their story is sadder... I feel sad that MN effectively cleared a space so that families with disabled woman could spat with a woman with disabled children over who is more entitled to heating...

Korma and Baby - I hope you both get heating and hot water sometime soon

If I could fuvk myself I would

If your going to be wankish in your posts, expect to be pulled up on it.

I never once stated that your child was less or more entilted to to heating than OP!!

WHAT I DID STATE IS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE OP SITUATION, NOT YOURS!!!

your targeting the OP, and if you read back your posts you will see that, because you would not be explaning yourcircumstances nor would you keep bringing up the OP INCOME, etc.....

Ahh cooking out a microwave is an easy one. I'm doing it myself at the moment as my oven died and I'm waiting to replace it. Google microwave recipes and you'll find hundreds to try. I'm actually quite enjoying some of the new recipes I've found.

Op, in the snow a few years ago our road had a power cut for 3 days, which meant no heating, light, oven or water, I found the best thing to keep warm was all stay together in one room as much as you can, hats really do keep you warmer than you would think as does wearing a couple of pairs of socks! I know the situation is horrible, when it happened to us my dd was just 4 and terrified because we only had candle light. I would just recommend heating the room you are in, if you can all sleep in 1 room and just put the heater on in there for half an hour with the doors closed.

You do not need to apologise, OP.

Yay - that's great news! You must be so relieved. Hope your DCs enjoy their hot baths later Grin

Fab news..Smile

our heating and hot water went off when dd2 was a tiny baby (born at xams, get the idea..) and I was in ther throes of PND and completely mad. The bloke came,. said he'd fixed it then left. It wasn't fixed, so I phoned up and basically bored them to death with the whole tale of dd being born with a disability, that i was suffering serious PND that I didn't know what I would do if nothing was done etc. She'd started off by saying no way could they come back that day; an hour later, they were back...albeit looking abit nervous...and two of them Grin

Although, and I don't know if it makes a difference, we don't rent and have a special payplan for such things.

Happy for you baby - and hope you heard the caring messages more than the, err, slightly less than empathetic ones! Glad all is restoredSmile.

apostropheuse · 25/01/2013 23:41
