Pinkladymel Looks Like you had a wonderful time at Thomas Land

mum2one I know what it's like with a nightmare neighbour, we lived in a bad area and had it from all angles, adults and kids at all hours of the day, we knew the CSO and neighbourhood Wardens by name, and saw them twice a week for over 14 months, we got nowhere near court or evictions as there were too many people involved in causing caos and not enough people willing to come forward. We endded up moving house in the end as neither me of OH could take anymore and we were looking at years before anything would be done. You should feel so proud of yourself for standing up to them and getting a good result. Well Done! I hope you and your Family are happy now and have a really Lovely Christmas

Jamtart Hope everything goes ok with the house & I love your Tree

Oh your all doing so well, I can't belive how organised I am this year, and I only have all my FRIENDS on here to thank, you have really kept me going over the last few months, Thankyou So Much.

Take Care Everyone

Sarah
