Week 29 - Monday-Tuesday Monday 9th January – Tuesday 10th January 2006 Monday: After lunch in the food court (classy) we went to visit Hubby's brother and his wife and 3-year-old daughter on barracks in Cambridge. We stayed there for the afternoon playing with various toys and pretending to eat tubby-toast before driving back in the heaving rain. When we returned to out flat there was a fine white dust over the dining table and shelving at the back of our living room - it took us a while but we eventually worked out that it was ceiling dust. The banging from upstairs must have been so bad on Saturday, or whilst we were out on Sunday, that it had actually caused plaster dust to fall from our ceiling. I was SO stressed out. I just can't believe that people can be so utterly selfish and horrible. This has been basically going on since we move in two and a half years ago and I literally can't take it anymore. Yes, I know there are worse things to worry about and people all over the world in terrible situations that make a bit of DIY noise from the idiots upstairs seem somewhat insignificant, but to my pregnant brain and my hormonal state of mind I may as well be living in a warzone with a crackhouse next door. Ok, rant over *seethe seethe* I was still stressing about it on this morning as I waddled from Whitechapel to work (tube strike meant that Aldgate was closed so had to get off early and walk.) I was happy to find a packet of choccie digestives leftover from a meeting on Friday though and ate two with a cup of tea to cheer myself up. It worked but may have to repeat the remedy again mid-morning when the effects wear off. Tuesday: I don't know if I mentioned this before but Hubby and I have decided to give up our flat and relocate to Kent. We've been talking for some time about moving out of London as we don't want to bring our kids up here, we'd prefer to be somewhere a little more rural and healthy. We are also going to have difficulty affording the rent if we stay, especially with the cost of childcare when I return to work. So we're moving in with my mum in August. She has a four bed house in Kent which she owns outright, so we're off to stay there for however long it takes to save up enough to get our own place. And I'll tell you this - when we move out of that flat it'll be the last place I will ever have lived with somebody else living above me! Never again! I have loved our little flat, our first home together, more than anything, but the noise has driven me to distraction. I am looking forward to owning our first place together, though I will be sad to leave Wanstead. I am cheering myself up by knitting myself a hat. I knitted hubby a lovely ribbed hat in Aran wool over Christmas and he loves it - though he looks like Daniel Powter. So I am going to knit myself one in bright fluffy pink with silver bits. Just knitting the wool makes me smile - I will post a picture when it's finished. Right, 10.30am – time for a couple of choccie biccies and a cup of tea… previous * * * next
