To be fair there are signs outlining no parking, but it's part of our road so I'm not sure he owns it or is just using the signs as his only back up if you know what I mean. Our road is a gravel road in between a car sales place and a funeral home (it's not even a road it's a little stretch of gravel with 3 houses cornered at the end of it). So he was saying I can't park on the side next to his funeral home, but surely as that's MY road that I live on he can't possibly own that land and be able to tell me I can't?
And no there was no one waiting for the space and there were 2 other spaces.

Oh no that sounds like it's going to be a right pain mrs d! Getting all the insurance involved will be a nightmare! Will it be covered as it was caused by a weather incident?
Yay for sorting house stuff tomorrow, you'll be moving before we know it!!

 

[baileybubs]

As I was just in the bath I heard someone try to open my door then knock. Presumably MIL, good job I locked it! Making me remember one of the reasons we are moving and why I'm dealing with all this stress lol!

She's just text me now asking if I'm busy and quite frankly I don't want to see any people tonight at all! I'm currently lying on my bed in a towel. So how do I say "yes I'm busy doing nothing and I don't want to see anyone?" Lol??

 

[MrsDuck]

Can she sit with Emilia while you do stuff? Or else don't reply, she'll assume you've gone to bed

What an old fart, some people have got nothing better to do.

We have only seen the damage in the dark so there could be more not sure what we are going to do yet

 

[baileybubs]

Emilia is asleep now and I'm in my pjs, I feel weird when my MIL comes over and I'm in my pjs! I'll just text her tomorrow saying I had a bath and then fell asleep on my bed so sorry I didn't reply. Sometimes you just need your own time don't you? I've had enough of everyone today lol (except my Millie of course, she may be a cranky pants at times but I'll never have enough of her lol).

Oh I hope the weather doesn't make it even worse too mrs d! That's such a pain when you are just gearing up to move and expecting a baby! Another cost is all you need!! I bet you and your dh are gutted after all that work you two have done on it recently!

 

[MrsDuck]

Sounds like a plan. Put your feet up, have a glass of wine and watch some rubbish tv

I know, it's an extra expense we could do without

I can't wait to move now, I bet you can't wait to be fully moved in either

 

[baileybubs]

Well she came back again so I answered lol! Should eat my words really coz she came to give me the measurements of an LG washing machine 7.5kg like new that her friend is willing to sell us for £80!!! So she needs me to measure where the washer can go tomorrow and that's why she came round, ooops. But at least I answered the door, even if I ignored the text lol!

Well my ready made Beef goulash and dumplings was delicious but nowhere near enough for me!! I'm still hungry!

My wine is going down a treat! What are you watching mrs d? I watched midwives the other day, have you been able to watch anything like that recently? I loved watching it in first and second tri but wasn't as keen by third tri lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

That's brilliant, what a bargain well done mil

I'm just watching the soaps while hubby fills in all out mortgage stuff ready for tomorrow (I'm staying out of the way) what a load of rubbish on tonight. Yes I love the one born and midwives stuff

 

[baileybubs]

I know good bargain isn't it? Our machine is on is last legs so we are gonna leave it here lol! We have gypsys that come round here and pick up any scrap metal you leave outside your house.

Yeah Monday are rubbish nights on tv. I'm glad I have TiVo (soon to be sky plus).

I hope OBEM is back on again soon. Although it makes me even more broody lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

I've just had some good news, the bounty offer people have agreed to refund the vat yay

Yeah I miss one born too, it must be back soon

 

[MrsDuck]

How is everyone today?

Bailey did packing go any better today?

 

[baileybubs]

What VAT was that mrs d?

I've had a bit of a better day, no less hectic lol! But sometimes I swear df has no brain. I told him to pack Emilia's clothes into a suitcase, silly me forgot to tell him to leave some out for her to wear and to sleep in!! No initiative at all that boy! Also he packed away all the tea towels, all the glasses, and all the baking trays. Oh and then overpacked my box of make up and hair things (brush, bobbles etc) so a) the box couldn't shut and b) so I couldn't get to my make up and hair brush!! Honestly I feel like I have to outline everything in specific detail for him to do it properly, he just doesn't think!

And then to make my day better, the lights in the bathroom went out as I was bathing Emilia! There's a fault in the spotlights we have in there and an electrician has been out to them and says he can't see the problem, they just randomly go on and off for no reason! Last night of that having to happen to me though I guess!

What have you been up to today mrs d? Did everything go well with sorting the house buy/sell?

 

[MrsDuck]

One day to go yay I bet you can't wait, especially if you don't have a hairbrush or makeup haha men don't think, I'm sure mine would do the same thing

The vat return is because we are 0 rated for tax here so they have agreed to refund it yay

Nope all is not well with the house, we have gone from having 2 buyers with their chain in place, to 2 buyers still there, but now neither have got their own buyer in place aaaaaaagh!

It's been rather stressful today as we've spent the afternoon submitting all our paperwork with lawyers, tax, mortgage company etc incurring costs

 

[baileybubs]

Eurgh I bet all that was really stressful, I'm not looking forward to all that when we finally do get our own place! That sucks about the chain delay mrs d! I hope it gets going for you soon, bet you'd rather be in your new house before Christmas!

Oh I can't wait mrs d! I can't wait to get it over with and I can't wait to be away from this street lol! Parking is a nightmare, there's a moped that goes back an forth half the night and also there's MIL lol! I know she means well and all but she's at it again lol! She wants to do some of our washing coz we are not getting this washer til Thursday, but she can't just leave me to just put it on tomorrow oh no, she wants to get some tonight from me and once again I'm trying to chill out!! In fact I'm doing to bed in about an hour lol!
I told her we don't actually have much to wash except a few towels and a couple of bits of clothes from today, and she's said, yes and you will have df's chef clothes from today.......yes that's true I WILL have them, but I don't have them to wash right now do I coz he's still at work so why come over for half a load?? Baffles me at times lol, but I know she's just being nice.

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks, yes I just want to be in asap now, there is so much we need to do to the house before baby comes along, including putting it on to mains drains

Grit your teeth, one night to go then she'll be a car ride away

Do you watch vampire diaries? New series starts tonight at 9 yay

 

[baileybubs]

I really hope it speeds up for you, looks like I spoke too soon when I said you've been patient so much this year and this is your payoff
Is there a lot of work needs doing to decorate and stuff?

Yep just keep telling myself that, one more night, just one more night. I'm gonna text her actually and tell her I will send df over with the washing when he gets home coz I wanna go to bed by 9, I'm not waiting up just so she can put the laundry in the washer for us when I could easily do it in the morning.

I've never watched vampire diaries no, didn't know if I would like it. Is it any good? I'm watching Frasier again lol!

 

[baileybubs]

I bet you guys are so sick of me whinging at the moment aren't you lol? I'm getting so stressed out that all my moaning is getting on my own nerves lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

Hopefully it will still or work out, she says with everything crossed

It needs lots of work, kitchen, bathrooms, windows everything but I'm looking forward to it, we've done the same with our existing house

Whinge away hun, I wouldn't fancy living opposite my mil. I know they mean well buuuuuuttt!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw so you can really make it your own and when it's all done there's that great sense of accomplishment! That must be really good. One of the reasons I can't wait to get our own place too.

Yeah they mean well don't they, makes me laugh though coz I'd be getting annoyed with my own mum if she came over all the time lol!

Mmmm I was bad and got dominoes coz everything is packed, and they had an offer on to get Ben and Jerry's for £2.99 so I got a tub of peanut butter cups (every other flavour seems to have chocolate ice cream and I don't usually like that). It's quite yummy but a bit dull. Don't think I can eat much of it, which is probably a good thing! What's your fave Ben and Jerry's? Or do you not eat it much with it causing you tummy problems? My fave they don't do anymore it was called Bohemian Raspberry but then they relaunched it as winter berry brownie. Seems to have disappeared from the shops now though

 

[MrsDuck]

My hubby has ants in his pants so the new house will keep him busy

We almost had a pizza ourselves tonight because I couldn't be bothered to cook, but in the end I just did a pasta concoction with all the bits left in the fridge.

I don't really do much ice cream because it just goes straight through me, if I do have ice cream it tends to be vanilla with some cake or desert (boring)
