    I've just done a post and lost it due to my stupid fat fingers playing with the keys lol never put me in charge of the nuclear bomb button, we'd all be gonners.

    So, I said welcome back to Michelle nice to see you x and gave one of these :T for the debts and a sneaky hug to pigpen cause you'll be upset your DS and family have gone x

    Done zero flying since work, I went round to OH's and promptly fell asleep, mind you nowt's spoiling cause I've done today's list already. I paid the rent though when I was there....I forgot about that lol

    I'm about to take my toast plate into the kitchen and go and close the bedroom blinds cause it's gawn chilly.

    ETA: oops I need to make tea an'all, I'd forgotten about that too

    Well.. I am actually relieved DS1 has gone TBH.. it has all been so topsy-turvy and difficult and now they are together he can actually share a part in raising Jacob which is what he wants to do and hopefully the next 3 months will whizz by. We CAN go see them so once a fortnight or whatever I will drive down with my mother and we will visit.. with toys and food parcels and baby bits no doubt.

    It was like waiting for a funeral and once it is over you can move on and look toward the next step..

    Dinner scoffed, kids are eating me out of house and home and it is only day one of the holidays. They are now outside using up more energy so expect they'll be in for pudding in 30 minutes!

    Just going to get the washing off the line and then try to do another 15minutes upstairs.

    Hello all - hope the meet was good! Sorry I couldn't make it - car pulled a sickie :mad: but it's better now. Who knew it needed oil :confused::o!!


    I would like your advice on cheeky blighter neighbours.....I have a house which comes with 2 parking spaces- one for visitors at the front, and one for me at the back. House behind my parking space at the back has new owners, and they are building a conservatory (it's hideous!!) and have been taking their fence down, and parking skips, wheelbarrows, cement mixers, poles, old baths (?), you name it, in mine and my neighbours space. They haven't asked permission once!!

    I pulled up there today, and the bloke got really cross with me when I beeped and asked him to move the stuff so I could park. I had to honk, because the cement mixer was sooo noisy! He was really rude, and made out I was being unreasonable by asking him to move the fence, etc.

    Am I being unreasonable?

    Sorry to rant, but he quite upset me!!

    Not at all, some people are very arrogant and have no manners. Have had a similar thing recently, though the arrogance has come from the builders rather than the neighbours. Not quite sure of the solution, though if it is you and your other neighbour, maybe a combined approach?
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    'money and good health is coming easily to flypeople'

    pigpen I am glad you can visit - that will be something to look forward too and you will see such differences in wee jacob too - I hope DS cope with being a Dad - have they sorted out his health problems? Is your Mum back and reported what the place is like?
    The time will whizz by if you work on the next time you can visit and not how long it will be until they are back IYSWIM?
    toochoosey -poor girl -glad you have arrived safely
    ZCC72 I agree with the others - you need to sort it out now before they take permanent advantage - check with your neighbour - as valli said maybe its just the builder and not the owner.

    off to see what I can get crossed off tonight
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
