Sorry guys for taking the thread over for 1/2 hour with uni chat:oCan't use the phone to chat to RL friends in case uni phone and can't go out in case they ring;)

CONGRATATS TO YOU ALL!!!! nice to hear positive things as well as the negatives.
on another note;
my son is going to college in glasgow to do his hnd in electrical engineering, then is hoping to do degree after that. He is leaving home to live in student accomodation and enrolled today on his course and went to see his accomodation, he is happy. I think he is ready to leave home and be independant. Although is coming home every weekend to do his part time job. I feel so sad and am dreading it but must keep reminding myself its what he wants and its fantastic what he is doing for his future.
He had some time to kill in Glasgow so he went and visited an art gallery which was free entry, so sensible! (love him with all my heart) he done his hnc the year before last and has worked 16 hours a day with only 3 days off in last 4 months saving for his accomodation and move. Just thought i would share this. Its not cambridge but it means alot to us as Frazer has severe dyslexia but is incredibly gifted and clever in other areas. PROUD AS PUNCH XXXX

Question for the diplomatic amongst uswhich isnt me

I need to put something firmly but politely to a neighbour.

There is a hedge which goes right round our front garden as we are semi detached it borders the alleyway on one side a bit across the front & along the border with the neighbours garden.

This is the hedge I was clipping when I tried to chop the end off my finger.

Ignoring who owns the border/fence the fact is this hedge planted by the original owner in the 1930's is on our property it does grow into her garden.

Her "gardener" has today cut the side on her side & the top :mad: its a bit straggly but only about 3ft or 4ft max , its not even straight I'm so annoyed :mad:also the little bit at the end of our garden facing the street. :mad:

I want to say that this is our hedge if it needs cutting I will cut it, if she wants to cut the side on her side I want her to speak to me first I dont want it cut when there is the chance of a frost or hacked to death etc, this "gardener" cuts her lawn in winter when its almost waterlogged with an electric mower :eek: its only a pocket hankerchief garden FGS and she wouldnt know a weed if it slapped her in the face

I think I perhaps would apologise for forcing her to use her gardener, and ask if she could perhaps leave the top to grow for a while to allow you to trim it to match the rest of the hedge. Just say that if she had mentioned it you would have let her know that you were going to do it (next week maybe?).

She does have the right to cut the hedge on her side though, though why she uses a gardener like that is beyond me!

In the meantime if might be a good idea to just trim the rest of the hedge a bit to even it up a little!

Congrats to all who got their desired college/university places, even if one has had to be deferred to a while!

Lovely news BSB. So pleased to hear it's not as bad as initially feared and even if he's lost toes you only need to look at MMW for inspiration of how to deal with this :T
(Who I hope is now following doctors advice and is sitting with her feet up!!)

Big hugs to all in need of one....hope all the poorlies are feeling better, and those taking care of poorly relatives manage to get some me time.

And most importantly....hope your bodyshop order comes through Issyc :rotfl::rotfl:
