    Default Warning....just wanna complain

    Having heard last week my landlady wants to sell house i am a little stressed and worried. Looked at 3 new places, sadly not suitable.

    This morning put kettle on, electrics fused AGAIN, been a problem since i moved in last October. Managed to sort problem out, no reply from landlady!!!!

    Teacher mummy phoned said she had bad night with baby could i take 2 older boys today instead of thursday, not a problem.

    They have been a nightmare, older boy especially, all due to fact she doesnt seem to understand little children need consistant discipline and routine.

    Anyway walked to village to buy new kettle then had good play in park on way home, even though it was raining a bit. Boys continued to ignore me and be quite awful to each other.

    Met friend who suggested I pay £60 this weekend for 'spiritual healing' as she is getting messages at 5am every morning from my dead husband saying my life wont improve untill i do this

    Explained to her that although i am a spiritualist, I am also a realist and need to earn as much money as possible, save every penny and find a new home/work place. think she was a bit shocked at my reply

    sorry nothing anyone can do just needed a good old moan and a coffee

    feel better now

    Oh gracious, that sounds like quite a morning!

    I'm sorry for laughing (and don't want to offend your beliefs), but I read that as your friend receiving a TEXT message every morning at 5am from your late husband. I really should read more carefully

    Glad you feel better now - was that an "irish coffee" you had?

    I hope your landlady will pay for your new kettle as it blew up due to her faulty electrics!

    wish he would send text message lol, some how dont think he would want me to spend soooooooooooooo much money. Friend has very recently got involved with spiritualism/angels and thinks she has a 'gift'. I guess normally I would just listen and smile but today i really snapped at her.

    I feel for you x if its any consolation the 3 I have here today are pushing every button imaginable.

    I hope your luck improves. Without the cost of the spiritualist. I think I might have taken offence if that had been said to me x just mention if the messages are becoming a nuisance she should give you the reading for free xx

    She really would have the gift if she managed to get a text message from him. Bet that would shock her!

    I'm sure your husband would be much happier knowing your money went on a new kettle and towards your new home

    sorry to hear you are having a bad time honey. I think it's rotten of your friend to 'pressure' you into spending money on a session with her on the basis of messages from your hubby - I think that's actually really awful and I'd be seriously rethinking my friendship - spiritualists aren't allowed (ethically) to give negative messages to encourage people that they need to attend and pay for sessions

    any luck with looking for a new place hon ?
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

    I chatted to true spiritualist friend today, she was out raged. Had already decided to take a step back with this woman due to lots of other issues, she has lots of problems herself and i feel quite sorry for her but have enough of my own problems just now.

    Looked at another awful house today BUT guy who owns one i viewed yesterday has offered to fit shower in bathroom, carpenter says he can move the new fence AND house is at end of street where i now live so looking hopeful. Dont wanna rush into anything but feeling bit more positive. Off tomorra afternoon so gonna start packing and being proactive.

    If my hubby wants to send message he will have to text me as i cant afford £60

    bless. good luck with the house at end of street. and if your hubby wants to contact you - he'll find a way - he wouldn't want you to pay that old fraud
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

    wow house at end of street sounds positive - especially if you can take fence with you - that would serve your landlady right cos i bet she is assuming you will leave it!
    Definintely ask her for money for kettle - faulty electrics is disgraceful - she's lucky it was only a kettle!

    That sounds good and it's close to your current house so no big deal to your parents

    Been for 2nd viewing, guy has bought new tumble drier and will fit new shower so i have decided to take it

    It has downstairs bedroom and toilet so ideal for use as playroom, garden is lovely and with new fencing will be ideal
