good god. when me and mr mob and the dog moved to the last place it was just me and him moving from 2 small rooms in a shared house into a one bed flat. this
time its us, the dog and two kids. and a shitload of stuff that is shoved in boxes and black bags. of which we will probably bin/freecycle a load even though
we had a mass clear out a few weeks before we moved. mr mob did all the moving [with some help]. i was sent round me mums for the afternoon with the kids
because i was driving him mad with my stressing.
i cant find any clean tops but my washing machine is now working so thats a relief and can wash and dry the 2 i do have.
chops has an severe attack of the terrible 2's though moving to a new house is probably unsettling and mummy being a stress head not helping either. yesterday she had an hour and quarter tantrum screaching like the excorcist. god knows what thew new neighbours must think.
the dog has been a complete arse as well but expect its all new for him too.
the washing machine repairman didnt turn up monday which peed me off, someone turned up yesterday. happy as larry.....not, the miserable shit. 'whats the matter with it?', 'it dont work', 'well i need to know more than that'!!! ffs. it didnt work is that not good enough?
crap water pressure in the bathroom so it takes about 45 mins to run a bath. problem being looked into.
open drain discovered in the back garden/wilderness. among the rubble and bricks and broken chimney pots etc littering the floor. 2 blokes from connaght turned up monday to remove the rubble but theres too much for them to take and turns out most of it is in a deep hole where someone was going to use it as a hardcore base for something [a shed?]. the surveyour is coming round next week. on the plus side they did take away the wardrobe we were taking to the dump.
gas safety check man turns up only to turn the gas on and not connect the cooker as requested. that got connected today. would never have been a problem had the council workmen not plonked a kitchen cupboard right next to the bayonett fitting for the cooker which meant we couldnt connect.
my middle nephews dad works for the council doing public greenery maintenance so he is going to sort out a mass strim of the wilderness for us. which is handy.
despite hiding all the crayons chops found 3 and has decorated the newly painted kids bedroom already!! even though she knows its naughty.
a badly spelling kid with obvious tourettes [lol] who used to live here has left a list of swear words on the bathroom wall. each one is crossed out and another underneath etc. we have been kindly left with 'fat cunt'. lol.
the neighbours seem very nice except:
1. i have already had one, a teenage lad of about 16, knocking for a light for his fag. sent him off with a box of matches. i really dont want all and sundry knocking for things.
2. we seem to have moved into a neighbour dispute. theres 2 flats next door and the bloke on the ground floor mr mob has known for ages as he is mates with a neighbour at our old place. this bloke dont like people ignoring him aparently and yesterday, even though i was in and didnt see anything, the people upstairs from him had their locks glued and the woman next door to him had glue put on her car. we really dont want to get involved but someone always mentions the ongoing saga as it seems when we go out anywhere. and aparently we will be next if we forget to say hello to him. good job we know him and our manners. last night there was a congregation of neighbours outside waiting for the 'culprit' to come home. he never did. aparently he had them all up till 4am the night before playing loud music and banging around. thank fuck we are detached from them. there is also all manner of chav teens coming and going. seems everyone knows everyone else and we have to find a way of fitting into the clique but keeping ourselves to ourselves at the same time. i cant be bothered with neighbour disputes.
bt despite the woes its lovely to have a house and room, well once we have unpacked and sorted everything [taking it as it comes] it will be lovely!!
god, as i look ot the window [must get some nets its like living in a goldfish bowl. i know im nosey but i cant be obvious when we have no nets] i see a small congregation gathering outside of neighbours. hope matey next door dont come home again tonighjt!!
