More sorting donein W's room and also kept an eye on tree chappies. Took a couple of pics of the mess in our garden jic

Chair cleaned of paint where SW's has used it as a paint tray.

That's about it.

Lunch now by which time the next wash should have finished and first lot ready to come in. Will declutter some TV whilst I eat

Hi, iwanttosavemoney! :wave:

Stairs hoovered and bins cleaned - just waiting for them to dry. Towels pegged out and next lot in the WM. It doesn't seem to be drying well today, though.

I'm going to sort out some lunch (fancy egg mayo, thanks to the thread I've just looked at) before deciding what to do with the rest of the day. Baking, bedroom and something with DS2 (in no particular order), I think. Oh, and I need to sort through a small pile of gibble I removed from the stairs.

Why don't I just send you round when you're feeling a bit hormonal... that should sort it out they'll be so scared they'll have the trees down there and then...

Thanks... might be easier to move

Going to get dressed - no I haven't done it yet - then another HHC at 12.45 if anyone would like to join in.

greenbee as the dragon says the best way forward initially is to talk to the owners, it may be that they are already considering this. Now is the ideal time to act before much more new growth appears.

I spoke to our neighbours only last summer and they said they liked the trees and that they offered some privacy, which I agree with but seeing as they look slightly down onto our house the privacy issue (or lack of) will be more a problem for us. We have pruned back on our side most years, which you can do legally IIRC so long as you offer the clippigns back! They have never had a problem with me doing this.

It may be that your neighbours have not considered the impact on your garden, it might just be the nudge they need to sort it.

Off I go then

Actually our next door but one neighbour has 2 conifers a huge elder and next door has a huuuuuuuuge ancient apple tree which all cast shade over my garden from about 10am .. so moss grows and my grass dies... If the conifers fall they will take out thee boys bedroom.. I hate conifers..

I do wonder if I should sneakify myself out there and saw through the trunks and push them to fall in the opposite direction to my house. The apple tree gives me chronic hayfever when in blossom, sheds petals and dead flowers all over my garden and in autumn drops mushy inedible fruit in my garden.. littering me with its rubbish.. and to add insult it then sheds leaves all over my garden.. it pees me off sometimes.. I just sweep it all up and dump it all back over the fence.

I got distracted by OH coming home for lunch, so finnished HHC a little early before and now need to have a rest for a while. although I have made headway in the bedroom and also cleaned woodwork in hallway and landing. So not doing so bad still need to hoover/brush right through down stairs.
