    When mine were small and I was aschool governer, there were some children who did not know what cutlery was nor what it was for...
    that was a shock for me

    Dunno but I asked a councillor who looked into it and said it was 'under the limit' and could therefore be parked there *points crossly*

    dancemum hope all goes to plan and wish you every success xx

    valli have a (((hug))) hun - that is so inconsiderate and unneighbourly - I know its too late now but have you checked your property deeds - mine doesnt allow commercial vehicles parked - so that is slightly different from the size one that you checked on maybe? How about a friendly call to the police to ask their adive - tell them that the tyre man is coming , that your neighbour wont move his truck and you are worried about the tyre man blocking the street and getting a ticket can they help with any suggestions? xx
    Peace will be mine

    yes I know

    thing is some idiot sent an anonymous note to his employers moaning about it - and that put his back up. He 'very kindly' <rolls eyes> gave us ALL a photocopy of it so that we all knew he knew. Had he accused me of writing it I would have been livid, it was so poorly formatted and badly worded...then he went round asking for the copies back - dunno why but he wouldn't have got my copy back I was (and am) saving it in case he starts harrassing me. He never asked for mine back.

    And 'they' complained to the council and the council have been round to 'discuss the parking issue' and did I want double yellows (erm no - it's a residential street).

    I haven't a clue who's stirring it - but it isn't me. I know he parks legally - so that's that.

    Evening ladies,
    Had a manic day so just did dailies (ish). Still cant believe the house is so tidy, makes it a good incentive to keep it up. Going to have a chill tonight, get my Sons stuff ready for his Dads tomorrow and get everything ready for work tomorrow. We are planning on painting the lounge Sunday so will catch up with the flying tomorrow afternoon so after the painting it will all be nice and clean. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend xx
