We've had a bit of a saga with our next door neighbours since they moved in. I'm quite laid back and don't want any trouble. I'm quite happy just keeping myself to myself. The next door neighbours moved in about 5 years ago. The female was horrified to discover that we have 3 boys. Her husband (G.) is much easier to get on…

changing jobs - how often is too often?

Why is it that when you finally start to feel like life could be good again something (well someone) has to crop up and ruin it? Every. Sodding. Time.
