[meow951]

anyone know hows best to get rid of the damp on the walls? The paper is fading and damp to touch and that woodlouse I found this morning has sent me over the edge If we have to stay here til after baby comes then I want it sorted but dont want to redecorate the room when its just a short term arrangement Wer gonn have to take all the paper off and try to treat the walls and any cracks so hows best to do it? Any idea's girls?

We've got damp around our bedroom window.

On paint i use cream cleaner and water. You could probably use the same but don't wet it too much.

You can only treat damp if you have the walls damp proofed, double glazing etc it's not something that's totally easy to fix.

Its not good for your health at all!

 

[Inge]

is there a trampoline party in my tummy tonight?
girls ; thanks for all your help on the damp situation. Il try to get oh to go council on monday and talk to someone about it. Thing is this is an old house and his parents arent going to pay and we cant afford to get alot done here. I know the windows arent that good as you can feel the cold and wind come through sometimes even when theyre shut. The latches are broke so you cant actually properley lock the windows
I really think I should lay of the pepsi max but its so yummy....

Inge tell the council your worried for your OHs son as the windows are completely unsafe. Did you go to CAB? See your GP and tell them you suffer a lot with coughs and colds that you wouldnt normally see the GP about, but you want to know if the damp could be causing it... which of course P will say yes, and then add that to your councl complaint. Also speak to your midwife, they might be able to write you a housing referral letter stating the accomodation isnt good for your health and being pregnant its even more important to be well. Then if they still make you wait, you could ask your local paper to do something, really lean on the prenancy and the conditions the council thinks is safe for not only you but your unborn. Oh and speak to your local MP, tell them the council wont listen, they'll speak with housing on your behalf too! Dont sit back and let the council fob you off!

 

[Inge]

Im not going to as I need it all ready for the baby. I feel so baby knowing its not sorted yet It m akes me feel like iv failed already and baby sint here yet. I jsut want to be the best mum and have the best for the baby but im worried its all gonna fall through. When oh phones me on his break later il nag him bout going and sorting it once and for all

 

[new_to_ttc]

You should do! take your bump and show them who they are messing with... men just umm and ahhh... women nag till they get what they want rofl

Oh and Joshua found his DS games!! I knew they wouldnt be too far away, he is usually so careful with everything, and on the plus side, his room is now tidy ha ha

 

[mummy3]

New, sorry you have a lurgy too Hope you feel well quickly!

Inge, I would get the council to send someone from housing standards to come check out your mould If its black mould that is dangerous and they should move you! Im sorry about you losing your job too, hopefully there will be something new and better right round the corner

We are running out now to get more cream and pie, hopefully a shop will be open, I need more cold supplies too. I thought moving to San Diego would stop all these pesky viruses

 

[Inge]

OH doesnt want to bother trying because he says we wont be able to afford a house We will just be on his £1000 a month for us,the baby and his son soon. I told him we must be entitled to something in the way of benefit or help with rent but he's saying theres no way If I didnt love him so much Id just do the whole thing myself as he's so stubborn
I feel such a let down as a mum already and baby isnt here yet

 

[meow951]

You will probably be entitled to some tax credits etc hun

I'm thinking of being a stay at home mum as my job isnt enough to cover child care so we will be worse off. OH brings home £1000 a month or less and entitledto.co.uk said that we could get child benefit (£20 a week) plus about £60-£80 in child and working tax credits and also some housing benefit.

You might be able to get something hun and if it puts you in a healthy house for you and baby then all the better!

 

[Charl]

Hi guys

I would like to join the May group. Our little one is due on the 19 May 2011.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Welcome to the club, Charl!!

 

[lisaf]

meow - I know this was several pages ago, but you can get a kit to patch the ceramic that chipped in the sink! Most landlords wouldn't replace a sink that was chipped anyway, they'd just use the kit to patch it!
Which remindes me, I should get one for our bathtub, lol!

AFM - Ladies, my pain is getting much worse! It started when I stood up to get out of the car while on the drive up here... shooting pain in my vagina (really my pelvic bone, but in the vaginal area). I now keep telling DH 'my vagina hurts' every time I stand up. It fades pretty fast, but its NOT fun!
I mentioned it to the nurse last Friday but she brushed it off and said it was too early really for that, just must be normal aches and pains.
It wasn't as bad last Friday though.
Any advice?

 

[BizyBee]

I am so ridiculously full tonight. Whew. That meal was good but I def over ate.

Inge, sorry you are having such a rough time.

Welcome charl!

Lisa, not sure what that's all about. I'm surprised the nurse brushed it off. Hope it stops soon.

 

[lisaf]

Yeah, from what I'm reading, its still not commonly investigated. She seemed to think it was too early to worry about anything like that... but what I read online says it can start in the first trimester.

I am definitely going to make a bigger deal of this pain next time. Just not sure if I should push for an earlier appointment or wait until my next one on Dec 13th... I guess the pain level will tell me, lol.

Any good tips on a nickname for the pain? I can't exactly say 'my vagina hurts' just anywhere... I need a code to tell my husband so he knows why I'm wincing etc.
I was complaining about my knee hurting earlier and he raised his eyebrows and said 'your KNEE?'

 

[Wiggler]

Aww lisa, I hope it gets better for you. I just say my pelvis or hips are hurting. Even though sometimes it feels like I have been kicked in my ladygarden If the pain keeps up deffo pester your nurse/doctor for some help.

Did all you American ladies enjoy your Thanksgiving? x x x

 

[MilosMommy7]

i actually ate alot this year. i'm not a big thanksgiving fan since i dont like turkey much. and i can never eat a lot. but today i was super hungry but it was good

 

[meow951]

Thanks lisa. I found a kit but its quite expensive and not confident i will do a good job I might get a plumber or someone to do it. I've been getting those pains in my bits too. Someone referred to it as "vagina lightning" in the 2nd tri a couple of weeks ago lol so that might be a good descriptions if thats the pain you're getting

Charl- Welcome to the group! I'll add you to the list.

 

[zippy4]
