I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Agh! That is just terrible! We have an ongoing passive-agressive battle going with our new neighbours - they park all their cars on the drive leaving no room for any of the other 3 flats (it's meant to be one car each) and don't care about the various bins which means they haven't been emptied in 4 weeks!! But trashing your bike is a whole other level! I'm sorry molly and really wish they would pay for your bike!

MollyDefoe · 06/04/2011 11:50

Grrr - I hate passive-aggressive neighbours Angry - I feel your pain Boogies ! Last month, a different set of neighbours parked their car at right angles to ours, completely blocking it in, and then went away for a week, meaning we couldn't get our car out at all. They were very unapologetic, and said they'd do it again. So we've had to move our car to a street about 10-mins walk away, just to make sure that we can get at it when we need it. I can't wait to move house this summer!!

Oh this reminds me of a problem we had with our old neighbours - they used to park their cars in front of their own house, in front of ours and their daughter obviously didn't know how to park properly and parked hers over two spaces most of the time. They also used to have millions of visitors to their house meaning there were random cars parked bumper to bumper right the way down the street. I'd get home and have to park miles away then struggle up the street with all the shopping Angry used to piss me off so much!

It ended up like 'parking wars' - I must have finished work around a similar time to the dad, as we always seemed to arrive home around a similar time, I used to try to leave work 5mins early so I'd beat him home and get my space back! Grin

I remember one time though I had no choice but to park outside his house and he knocked round and asked me to move it - the cheek of it!!

I was over the moon when they moved - especially since the new neighbours don't drive! Grin

molly thats awful what your neighbours did to your bike! Have you spoken to them about it? If not would you consider getting the police involved? It is criminal damage after all! Angry

MollyDefoe · 06/04/2011 13:36

Oh god, that's sooooo annoying, whitegold ! Why are neighbours such complete arses?! I'm not entirely sure which neighbours broke my bike (I live in a block that has 4 other flats in it) - I'm going to write a very angry letter when I get home this evening, and put it through all of their letterboxes. I'm just sick and tired of living next to aggressive weirdos - we've been in the block for 2 years, which makes us the oldest residents there, and we're good neighbours. We always put the bins out (even for the other neighbours), don't play loud music, don't SWI too loudly! etc. But over the last year, there have just been a succession of nutters moving in, who have made our lives a misery. I really just can't wait to get out of there - but it makes me really sad, because I loved living in the flat before these a**eholes moved in.

whitegold · 06/04/2011 13:46

Its such a shame that you find somewhere lovely to live but then the neighbours spoil it for you. Do you rent the flat - if so can you speak to the landlord about it? You must be so excited to move - new home and hopefully new baby too Smile

MollyDefoe · 06/04/2011 13:54

yeah, the flat is rented, but one of the annoying neighbours (the ones with the car) lives in an adjacent block, which isn't owned by the landlord, so there's nothing he can do about it. To be honest, our lease is up in 4 months, and I can't face the aggro when there's such a short time left. I just want to move on now. But it is sad :( BUT, as you say, it would be dead exciting to have a new house - it would be lovely to buy somewhere with DP, and then, hopefully, to have a baby there!

BoogiesBunny · 06/04/2011 14:03

Hi esme it's great to have you on board!! I hope SWI has been going well!

Despite the neighbours it's nice to know that we're not the only ones suffering! And trying for a baby certainly helps you think about the more important things in life!

weimy · 06/04/2011 17:00

Welcome Emma and Dreaming!!!

esme welcome! we will have to be the responsible ones on this coach I think!!!

molly they sound like nob heads Angry

OMG do they still wank even if they're in a relationship? Shock I'm asking mine when he comes in and he's in trouble if he does!!!!

boogie where in the lakes are you going? I love the lakes!

toddle · 06/04/2011 17:42

Oh weimy that made me giggle. Well its funny as ive spoke about it before with my mr and apparently he doesnt see the need but I think that his the minority on the subject lol. Thought it was a bit strange actually.

Oh boogie im very envious I got into uni in ambleside but decided against it at the last min and its so pretty.

And I must agree your neighbours dont sound that great :( molly are you planning on moving out after the four months?

BoogiesBunny · 06/04/2011 18:26

weimy we are staying in Newby Bridge - I am so excited as I've never been and want to see everything, it looks so beautiful! It's great to hear from people who know it well!

And yes I think almost all guys (except your sainted man toddle) keep at it! Mine says that it is nothing to do with sex, me or any sense of unsatisfaction - just an itch he has to scratch! In fact since I told him that I didn't mind (or mind that he looked at porn) he says that it's all lost it's sheen and he does it much, much less - it's not clandestine any more!

weimy · 06/04/2011 18:36

Newby Bridge is great, there is a hotel/bar on the opposite side to the modern one (it has two big stone dogs at the entrance) the locals drink there and it is super friendly.

Bowness and Ambleside are close for shops. Have a look for Tarn Howe there is an easy walk around it but you can climb up to it via a lovely waterfall, its near Conniston. I'm jealous we go in august with the pack and I really can't wait. Grin

toddle · 06/04/2011 19:08

Hi esme :)
Boogies yeah in some respect its kind of strange doesnt even watch porn or anything :S not that I would mind either way lol.

weimy · 06/04/2011 19:23

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't either. I don't think I'd like him watching porn cos there is no way I could ever look like the women in porn films (or do what they do mores to the point).

Bingo Weimy! Phew! Thought I'd be forever doomed to pick terrible pub quiz questions Blush Over to you Grin

fragglerocks · 06/04/2011 22:24

Hi ladies and a big hi to all the newbies!
Not been here for a while, got some bad news last week, both DH and I will be having to take a huge paycut due to bloody stupid government cuts (We're both civil servants) We have quite a few debts, this coupled with the paycuts means we can't really afford a baby right now so have decided to spend the next few months paying off as much as we can and will hopefully start TTC again at the end of the year.
I will still pop in every now and then to see how you're getting on, good luck to you all, I really really really wish you all the best.
To all my sex pests, remember to keep your fingers crossed but your legs wide open (and up in the air after SWI for at least 15 minutes!)
Really sad at the moment but hopefully when i'm feeling less depressed about it all I will be back to see how you all are!!
(((Big hugs to you all )))

OBeSomeOtherName · 06/04/2011 22:58

Oh Fraggle I'm so sorry to hear that! Hope you and your DH are ok and that the time flies for you both. Ruddy bloody government! Angry

(((Big hugs right back atcha)))

whitegold · 06/04/2011 23:17

Oh sorry fraggle Sad I work in the public sector, and although I'm not having my pay cut I'll be on a pay freeze for the next few years at least so I'm expecting to see a big difference in what we have left over for ourselves after mortgage, bills, etc (in the last month alone I've had to pay my car insurance which had gone up by 50% - crazy!) so I can imagine how worrying it must be for you.

Hope that you manage to work something out, and you know if you started TTC again at the end of the year you'd still be in with a shot of a 2012 baby - you should definitely stick around!

(((hugs to you too)))

'Twas a BFN but still no sign of the usual horribleness I have pre AF. . . It's a right PITA not knowing my cycle lengths! Confused
