I’m at my wits end an hoping some of you can help or offer advice for me to try.

My neighbour is a HEAVY smoker and for the past week the smell of her smoking and cooking greasy chip fat has somehow been getting in my house, we share a living room wall and bedroom wall… my living room and bedroom absolutely reek of her smoke and chip fat cooking.

The smell is Affecting mine and my child’s breathing we both suffer from asthma anyway and the smell been burning mine and our nostrils to the point we’ve been putting Vicks vapour rub under our nose Throughout the day and going to bed with it underneath our noses. ( I know this probably isn’t safe to use all all,everyday.)

I clean my house daily with safe products and mop my floors, I can’t use Aerosols because of our chest I don’t like using wax melts anymore as mine caught fire and nearly burnt my passageway down.
This will sound bizarre & probably condescending (I can assure you I don’t mean it too)
I have asthma too & find just opening all the windows during the day & leaving my bedroom windows open constantly helps me

I have them open, I should of said that when I first posted :), I can’t sleep with closed windows but the smell is still lingering about.

ugh that sounds like my idea of hell!! Is it a long journey from where you are?! (I swear you said you’re from Cheshire or living in Cheshire but I might’ve remembered that incorrectly!!)
I’m sat in bed in absolute agony with my frigging foot! It’s throbbing through the boot! It’s ridiculous!! The baby is napping (he’ll be awake soon) and my eldest is building Lego in his play room while my partner answers emails 😂 so rock n roll!
My eldest turns 4 in April - 3 weeks after the baby turns 1… did not plan that very well but was told it was highly unlikely I’d ever have another baby so it was a big shock for us when I found out I was pregnant!
I’m jealous tbh. Would love to be in bed 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
I got pregnant with James within I think 2 months of miscarrying so we were a big shock too 😍😂
I live in St Helen’s where it borders Warrington so when we had to call the police once it said do you want Cheshire or Merseyside and I was like.. umm I dunno? 😂
I’ve just got into town & am hating myself so much 😂

Hmm maybe an air purifier? Besides talking to your neighbour I’m not sure :(

do you know if the neighbour rents or owns? If they rent smoking inside isn't legal as far as I am aware,if so you could try and contact the landlord.

How is everyone's Saturday going? I am doing an online training course which isn't very good so basically lying on my bed with the cats with it onin the background :ROFLMAO:

Did you have any garlic bread with it? 🤤
I’ve made a little one for us for tomorrow
(MIL is here asking me when I’m having another child yay)
Try and prop it up on a pillow sweet and put some music on in headphones to distract. I’m happy to send a playlist to chill too 😂
Also look familiar? Haha

I did! So now I stink of garlic 😂😂

why do MILs interfere so much?! My ex MIL was an absolute nightmare! Didn’t really get to know my partner’s mum too well as she was very poorly when we got together and passed away when I was pregnant - but she was excited to meet the little one… she just never got to 😞

yessss!!! I used to live in the Abito building! Bet I’ll have pics somewhere of the view from my apartment!

edited to add the photos cos I found some!!

mate don’t get me started on it I could go on and on and on about her remarks

I’m so sorry 😞 that’s awful. It’s so hard to lose someone that close I can’t imagine how upset your partner must have been before your baby was born

nooo way thats where I walked around by work 😭😂
We’re besties 4eva

we should write a nightmare MIL book!!

yeah it was really hard for him after watching his dad suffer and die only a couple of years prior… pretty much to the day. Thankfully he had someone to help him through it this time around… although it was still really really difficult for him. He lost so much weight too and was barely sleeping. He’s quite good at hiding his emotions (suppose he has to be really because of his job) but it was obvious how hard it was for him. Think it was like… we’d got our fresh starts with each other and his mum didn’t really get to see it. She was so proud of her son for making such a success of his career but she never liked his wife!

Anyyywaaayyy… trying not to further depress myself this evening! Plus he’d go mad if he knew I’d been sharing stuff! He’s very private. When I had a public Instagram account when we first started dating I mentioned like one tiny little thing about him and some woman messaged me and was like “omg I think you’re dating my doctor” so that was it… I came off insta for ages and he was so creeped out he made me promise not to mention even the slightest thing about him if I went back on!! To be fair… I didn’t even name him or anything and this woman figured it out!!!
