    No i dont think it would be a good idea for me to go, think i would end up throttling someone:cool::rotfl: plus we are not aloud to speak, and put our views across:o

    i have been scanning the local auctions etc, and found this one


    lot no 12... so we went to have a look, went to talk to the people in the kennels, and they are adiment that no one would be able to live or build there, not even in a caravan etc, as they openly said they would report them to the council, and they would object ANY sort of planning, they did say then that there is problems with the old mining area, where the trees are... why are people so anal, but then on saying that if they have lived there for 18 plus years... they are used to having no neighbours.... but then he did say he tried buying it for 4k, but they refused.....plus he said there is no legal access route to the land... as he as asked the sagents etc, but why would he ask that question, when he has a gate joining his land to it;)

    do i need the hassle...of a jobs worth twonk as a neighbour?????


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:T:T

    oh the power of a good RANT !!

    YES i had blood tests for lymes last week, get results wednesday...
    doc thinks whatever it is it is a virus :( just elimination now !!

    i have been doodling in the garden today, ran the hose over the road to MABEL's to fill her wollow and the water butt and a big tractor thing drove over it, split it to bu****ry and soaked the following cars with all the sprays shooting out....i hid behind the hedge till all clear and then ran with my end back to my garden :rotfl:

    i must admit i am lucky not to have neighbours here, only once have i had hellish neighbours at a previous home [for 1 year only thank goodness] young couple,uncontrolled dog, big mouths,thick as **** but apart from that not bad :D.... they moved and i actually put balloons on my gate and had a farewell party in my garden on thier moving day....just didnt invite them !!:rotfl:

    well iv just made a big chicken and mushroom pasta bake, enuff for me,son and GF...bet he comes in later and says theyve already eaten !!:(

    CTC... i think i would go to "the meeting" if only to get the FACTS straight from the horses mouth, so to speak..?? then id collar someone who looks like they may be the person to collar re purchasing your house ??? saying that you are not a happy bunny but they could silence the unhappy bunny with an offer !!:D

    I'm so excited about geese! Makes up a lot for the peacock incubation failure. (in fact my neighbours peacocks have been on our house roof for the last two days, they are gorgeous and the dogs are intrigued beyond belief, rofl)

    Now...guineafowl eggs. I think I might try the place near Davesnave for those. :)

    ctc, I think Alfie might be right, can your OH go if you don't ''trust yourself''. TBH, if you just went and wept it would be bad enough publicity!

    The peacocks do look gorgeous on the roof. :)
