    I think you should just head out for the day and forget them. If their stuff is in the way of your car they will have to move it.

    I know workmen are really annoying but you may as well brace yourself for lots of posts saying they can't see a problem. You know my advice by now anyway, you shouldn't have to leave your house but it is only you who can look after you and it is probably for the best.

    Do you know how long the work will take?

    so the cables haven't bent your plants/trees, the mud has washed off, and the digger didn't touch your car.

    Thats what I'm seeing, am I wrong?

    And actually, although it might not be what you want to hear, the workmen was right - if you were at work today you wouldn't have seen any of it and the only thing you might have noticed and got upset about when you came home was a bit of mud on your plants.

    Crumbs I do not have mental health issues no, I do have emotions and got over exposed to them when I came home and the bucket from the tipper was in my path inches away from my car and the mud was all over the plant.

    Please see pics to see ifthere is just a bit of mud and I am exaggerating the whole thing, I never saw the neighbours please read the whole thread

    But there isn't any mud on your side is there?

    I bet they just didn't think - To be fair, there are no flowers just shrubs.. some of them still need dead heading and there are leaves that need clearing away - workmen probably didn't think you would be bothered

    Sorry that they swore at you though, no need for that :)

    Maybe when they get in this evening (presuming they are at work) you should ask them and mention that that the workmen were not very friendly to you when you pointed out some issues. And that in future it would be courteous for them to inform you of works to be done in close proximity to yours :)
