    pondered more on this outrageous planning app. I've decided that at least one member of the planning board should not vote on it as he's quoted all over the local newspaper over the last two years advocating it in the particular location so he will not be seen to be impartial! So, I'm about to compose an email to the Chief Exec and various others pointing this out...

    I'm also going to get onto Planning Aid and some head honchos in Government tomorrow.
    I would not like to be any member of that planning committee :eek:

    The bit that's raised my blood pressure is a planning application. Haveing read through it all there's a serious conflict of interest and breach of parliamentary acts etc. Went over to NN's and dumped/ranted big time at her. Bless - she's going to write to David Cameron about it....

    I'm also going to write to David Cameron and phone the Attorney General AND the Treasury Solicitor....

    You've got mail... can you pm it to me too?

    I also have a nightmare planning application next door to me (currently nature and wildlife filled woods). Letters have been sent, petitions have been created and signed.

    Did nothing yesterday as was suffering from alcohol related headache :o.

    Today we have bought a new barbeque. Got a really good deal as it was the last one in the shop so we got and extra 15% off.:money: Best of all it was built so that's saved DH 3 hours and a dictionary of swear words.

    We also went to the pet shop and bought 2 new tropical fish and some more plants. We've cleaned the tank out and it looks lovely. The cat is sitting on the window sill next to the tank licking her lips!

    DD1 has gone to France with one of her friends, she's away for 10 days and I'm going to miss her.

    I was supposed to have my smear test this Tuesday coming but AF arrived yesterday after a 12 week absence.

    Timer is going off so I'm going to serve up dinner. See you all on the new thread.

    Unfortunatly soappie we don't have them or the chickens anymore as the bloke we rented the land from died and his family sold it so they have all had to be rehomed with people who we knew would look after them.
