Willow 4,923 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 This will be the only thread in here, just treat is as a dumping ground for anything that won't fit anywhere else. I didn't want a live chat/shoutbox thingy - I think this will work just fine So, I'll start - I'm freezing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toran 1,307 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 We are getting new neighbours an old lady used to live there but shes gone into sheltered accommodation. Its a three bedroom house and housing association and every other family thats moved in the street have been noisy or overcrowded you cant park outside the house any more and with a disabled mother 82 its very annoying. I know I shouldnt judge but if we end up with a loud noisy lot next door it will be upsetting for my mother and Sara who is herself disabled. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willow 4,923 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 I used to live on a council estate - it was awful. Everyone was so noisy, and in summer the kids would all be out and I didn't trust them near our car. And speaking of cars, like you, there were loads everywhere, making it difficult to actually park near your house. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I want to move its our own house and could sell it and buy a nice flat in Gloucester on a new estate near the centre its quiet brand new so little upkeep cheaper to maintain within walking distance of the shops but at 82 mother doesnt want to move I dont blame her for thinking this way but would solve s lot of problems. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiderwoman0_2 2,429 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Just a bit of a moan here, I saw a mother pushing her pushchair with a 3/4yr old clinging on at the side, what I found really hard was the toddler was next to the road and was skipping around and holding her arms out into the road and I thought at one point she was going to fall into the road! What is it with these brain dead parents, she really didn't give a sh*t that her child was messing around next to the road and didn't even tell her to stop sticking her arms out. I really had to bite my tongue from telling her that it's not rocket science to keep your child safe and on the other side of the pushchair next to the houses. I've seen her on a number of occasions too doing the same thing all the time. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
