Loud bikes in the evening

Curious on people's opinions.

In Wyken there is a white dirt bike that drives around most evenings, constantly revving, sometimes up until 2am, without seeming to go anywhere but back and forth for the fun of it.

I appreciate I can't expect the world to be quite but I work shifts and have two young children who are repeatedly woken up. One is now teething which isn't helping him or me as we are both grumpy from lack of sleep.

There are several schools nearby so it is a given there are going to be young children in the area.

Lonely session

Called out a flow tree, waited ages and no one came. Presuming an issue with my xbox as I then had a run around and couldn't find a single player over almost 24hrs in game.

I do a lot of solo play but never realised how much I like having people running around until today 🥲

Clasp style?

I have this bessie bag and I absolutely love the front clasp and the fact it can make the bag wider! However this bag is quite shallow and I'd love a deeper version. I don't have the money for big designers, could probably do up to £150 if it's somewhere I could spread the cost 😅

Several years of stress

It is a nightmare how something so small can cause so much stress and mental damage.

We've tried home treatments, we've had professional treatments. Replaced bed frames/ general furniture. First noticed several years ago, went months possibly a year or two after treatment on edge but thinking maybe we finally got them and no 😓

Our small building of flats were built in the 1950's, there are cracks in the walls/wardrobes, can't afford to have the carpets replaced or move so clearly they just keep finding more places to hide!!

We've got young children, my poor 2yr old has ended up with bites, making me feel like an awful parent. Clearly we need to book another treatment but it's such a stressful process bagging up essentially an entire house for it to not work 😓

Accidently went 5/6hrs without pumping

Title says it 🥲

My own fault really, normally my son wakes up every 3/4hrs during the night or I will set an alarm. I didn't tonight and of course he slept much longer that normal. Last session ended 22:30 and then woke and started pumping at 03:50.

I just about produce enough milk, I normally pump every 3hrs and get about 85-110ml total. My son has around 100-120ml every 3hrs.

I am now really stressing that because I left it so long between feeds my milk supply is going to decrease... I pumped when I woke up and managed to get 160ml total 😓 I would have hoped for at least 200ml given the missed session.

Side question, I pump for 30mins at a time, say 10:00-10:30, I then begin again 3hrs after the end so 13:30-14:00. Do you time from the start or end time of a session?

Undersupply decreasing :(

Feeling super deflated.

Currently 7 weeks post partum and my supply seems to be dropping from an already low amount.

I currently express every 3hrs (admittedly sometimes in the night I've slept through my alarms and gone 4/5hrs) and I get about 100ml total for a 30min session. My baby's appetite is getting bigger and now he can easily have that 100ml and want more after 2hrs. I am constantly trying to keep up, I will give formula so he isn't going hungry but I was so determined to exclusively feed.

However the past 24hrs or so my milk seems to be dropping, I'm getting 60ml total each session. They never feel full or solid anymore when its coming up to the next session.

I've tried making sure I'm using the correct flange size and to my knowledge I am. I can't afford to get different pumps.

I really don't want to give up, but he's just getting hungrier & hungrier and I feel like I'm failing him 😓
