hi there,
just a quick one from me for now. thank you to everyone who wished me luck for yesterday. I am glad to say that the tribunal is over. the tribunal member awarded our landlord $160 of his $1800 claim (i think that what it was.. somewhere between $1200 - $1800 i think lol). The only part he could actually claim was about $600 as the rest were costs involve with the tribunal and with tribunal each person has to pay for their own costs if it is below a $10,000 claim... so I am super happy with the outcome. I have paid my ex landlord his $160 and I am hoping that this is the end of it. its funny, at the conciliation hearing I offered $200 so that we wouldn't have to go any further with it and the landlord declined.. so he ended up with even less and the tribunal member basically told him that he was being unreasonable and he should be happy because we left the place in better condition then when he moved out - but he did award him carpet cleaning and 2 days rent.. he didn't award another 2 days rent, water costs and cleaning costs (or the excessive claim for expenses relating to the claim) I was so happy and still am. Finally that stress is out of my life and I can look forward to my bfp and know that i won't have to deal with any more problems from him

Liz - just wanted to offer you a quick welcome. im so sorry for your losses and it is such a hard time. after my 2nd m/c I had a lot of trouble seeing pregnant people and people with newborns.. but after the last one i seem to be much more at peace with it for some reason - sounds weird! I do still have bad days.. I don't handle AF (or RB ) very well... when the witch is around I turn into a bit of a witch too and last AF I felt so much hatred for pregnant people I even said to a work friend that I wish i could take a pin to all those big bloated pregnant bellies just to see if they popped when i pinned them - of course i didn't mean it but i was definitely not handling another month with no bfp very well. so i know where you are coming from, as do most of the ladies here. I wish you a speedy bfp. *hugs*

happy easter everyone xxx
