Ok well I thought that I would let you all know how Im feeling as Im under alot of stress at the moment...
and as we all know that is not good for a pregy lady!
As a few of you know, we are living underneath my mums cousin's place...its been converted into a two bedroom self contained unit! Ok now they were supposed to be helping us out until we got on our feet as what happens when you move when you are poor!
Anyway, we have been paying our way (Its quite expensive for being family and for what the place is...there is no oven...no carpet...just lino (linoleum)...and there are gaps everywhere around all the doors so its freeezing...the laundry has only a security screen no wall and you have to walk through it to go into our bedroom and bathroom is off our bedroom...toilet is off the lounge...now when we arrived...dh helped do it all up with my cousins hubby....anyway...to cut a long story short...
They are now kicking us out!
We missed paying rent twice...but that was when dh work was slow (he is a cabinet maker...contractor, so he relies on his boss to give him work...its the way they do it over here!)...we did tell her about it and would endevour to make up the payments...she said that is no problem at all, I understand...since then we havent missed a payment (2 missed payments in a year is pretty good I thought!)...but because they live above us and we have a toddler and Im pregy, I keep forgetting to give the money to her (its cash), so the rent has been late 1 or 2 days...so because of the way she works things out she has acumulated each time we were late and made it into another week that we owe her!
arrrgh...we never got given a rental tenancy guidebook (which over here you are supposed to no matter if its a private rental or agent)...anyway it has all your rights and stuff...
They came down the other night and said we have to sign (oh and our rental aggreement finished in march08...we havent signed another) a piece of paper that says our rent will go up an extra $50 per week and we owe 3 weeks rent, and if we are late in paying rent they are taking legal action against us
and if we dont sign it Im sure they will take legal action against us too! Arrrrrgh
Im at my wits end and by the end of the evening I had stomache cramps and backache and couldnt sleep!
Im sorry to rant about all my problems, but I though maybe some of you out there could at least take my side and help me feel better that THEY are BARSTARDS!!!! At least just send me soome hugs as Im feeling quite low!
Im not the type of person who takes things personally...and I do understand that business is business...but I just thought it was a bit low to take legal action! YOu know?
The reason they are wanting us out, is so they can get professional people in and charge them more...she/they has never had children and dont understand...she was the one who said to me that why do I want to have another child when I cant even look after the one I have! Now trust me he is not malnourished and he is a very happy little boy! Very healthy and why should I justify anything to her! poo! She is just a
Suffice to say We havent signed the form they drew up! So dh is going through all our paper work (paying by cash makes it hard) that we kept (I now am soo glad dh is soo pedantic about bits of paper and reciepts)...so that we know where we stand legally...just in case...I normally dont fight...Im a lover!
but this time...Im leaving it up to dh and see what he wants to do....oh thats abother thing, we have never been given a reciept to sign for the cash...she just waits until about 20 or weeks and then prints it all up on A4 like a statement!...Im sooo peeved its not funny and its not good for bubs or me..Im soo exhusted...
I would love to know your thoughts on the matter...even if its to slag off my cousin
well actually she is my 2nd cousin...so we arent close! Any thoughts or hugs would be greatly appreciated!
I do hope that 
eases up! Seems to be lasting a while with you eh?? 
Actually, you can send it my way if you want... I'm hoping for it just for some kinda reassurance!!! (Remind me if/when I'm whingeing about it later on!! 
) 
I didnt tell her!
