    Got our report made, found a footprint and everything. We have a suspect, we'll see how this works out.

    Found out where the underground leak is showing up now. It's been nearly two years since the first notification of the leak and the supply line feeds four houses. Apparently the tenants next door knew where the leak was coming from since they moved in 12 months ago but their landlord will not sign the documents organizing a repair.

    So, I will call my insurance company tomorrow to tell them the problem as the water could be filling in our foundations and the problem may cause structural damage. This aught to be fun. I will also be calling the water board to complain if a leak is so close that has not been fixed I am essentially being supplied with unsafe water.

    Though, two years of continuous leak is very worrying. Plants are doing very well though.

    Oh, let's add more to it. Just as I start the process of getting my wheelchair, they arbitrarily decide they want to take $5900 from my total award as the state didn't accept the federal Medicare/Medicaid money. I still have legal counsel, this should be fun.

    hope you get it sorted quickly and to your advantage...

    Kinda had something similar happen with some tax relief over here... where they turn round and say 'nope... we're gonna stop the relief because we're now basing what you're entitled to based on numbers we pull out of our arse, not the ones we asked you to provide... because **** you... oh and you can't appeal or complain because we say so...'

    Oh, I can appeal, and I shall. And I have VERY competent legal counsel.

    Slept funny, some nice elderly lady stopped me on my way to the shop because I was grimacing as I was walking.

    It's almost impossible to walk without pain.

    Also had a horrendous dream that made a strange start to the day, watching everyone die in a dream doesn't put a good start to your morning (ended with me being eaten by a orca :S)

    That'll teach you to eat cheese whilst watching "Free Willy 23" last thing at night.

    Really bad hayfever. I had to actually use eyedrops because I couldn't even open my eyes properly earlier without it stinging. I never used to even get any symptoms except for maybe some blocked sinuses when I was a child; as an adult it's really affecting me.

    Cheap Labour

    Why do people always think it's okay to ask me to do something then throw next to nothing my way.

    Oh you want me to do your garden? Okay

    Spend 6 hours on her garden working really hard....

    Will £30 be enough?

    The other gardening that she called in last month spent a damn hour their and charged her £25.

    Either I'm being very unfair or I'm just a looney

    Edit : Like sure thing if it was just cutting the grass and strimming, But Nope, Weeding, Bush Cutting, Sorting the plants out, Avoiding dog poop, Picking everything up, sweeping, oh btw did you empty my pond?

    LIKE HECK I DID!

    Doctors, Police, in fact just everyone seems to be pissing me off right now

    Police still haven't done anything ( despite having all my computer gear for 3 months now ) and no word on whats happening with my case, if it will go to court, does my mom count as an appropriate adult due to my having autism etc...

    Doctors, waiting on the NHS to put me in touch with a CPN, as the crisis team have discharged me from their service promising a CPN would be in touch within a week

    ive lost almost 2 and a half stone since this started, and im getting more and more frustrated that i cant do anything and get on with my life or get my computer stuff back

    Yes, but you're 30 pounds richer. You need a more positive attitude. I did such work in the past. I didn't always work on server level stuff-I used to mow lawns and haul scrap metal for my money. Do you need money? Of course you do, you have two small mouths to feed. But sometimes you have to do what you can while you try to better yourself. Can you go back and work at your parents' hotel? Don't act too good to do it if you can. It's honest work, and there's never shame in that. Use your parents for a babysitter if you need a night out. Our parents loved seeing their grandchild. But you have some very difficult choices to make here, and your children need to be your prime motivator, not what you want. I've been there, made some of the same mistakes, so this is the voice of experience, not assholery. Life has sideswiped you, kicked you in the balls and said "now instantly become a responsible adult." It did it to me when I ended up on the street in Ohio. You are not stupid, and you are able bodied. You have what you need to give our children a good life, now go do it. Ignore new phone advertisements. Don't go out and drink-that costs a LOT, and incidentally so does taking care of small children. If you're really stuck with no work, spend as much time as you can helping with their care. Be that dad that's always there.

    Mine never was. I sacrificed almost everything for my son, including my life when I was hospitalized with arrythmia and bradycardia following four nights straight without sleep with Snort. Do everything you can for your children. I don't say this to be a jerk-I say this as a man that buried his child with his own two hands, as a man that made mistakes just like you but paid even more dearly for them. I have been there, I have done that. Here's the t-shirt, accept my warning and don't try it for yourself.

    You're not stupid, you're not worthless, and I don't think it's a waste of my time to try to help you. But please, please trust me when I say that after the things you have posted recently, you have reminded me very strongly of myself and the mistakes I made and I don't want to see anyone else do it as well.

    I will always recommend "Flixonase" or whatever the current name of it is. It's a nasal spray and it's heaven in a bottle for those of us who suffer from hayfever. I tried antihistamines before and they did jack for me, this stuff works incredibly fast and after a few summers of using it, I don't need it that often any more.

    2 sprays into each nostril first thing in the morning and you're sorted for the day.
