I could go on all day about it as it's just so sad to see her out there. She's still out there now, again with no shelter but I feel threatened by them to be quite honest and I know they will make my life hell if I complain again. I don't honestly know what to do. My friend who first raised the complaint is debating asking them to hand her over to her so she can take care of her (she already has a husky). I'm not sure that will go down well at all so have advised against this but I think she's going to anyway. So we will see....

Morning!
DS2 has gone back to school today, he was off yesterday but he seemed to be back to full health around an hour after I'd done the school run in the morning :cool: ...!
I'm watching Benefit's Street on catch up....I'm currently feeling very sorry for the RomaniansThey have all left their families to come over here and work and yet they are treated like scum and petty thieves. Very sad
. However the one that did manage to get a job....i'd like to teach him how to make his money go a little further by not buying fizzy pop, fags and chocolate :cool::money:
Nsd yesterday & hopefully today. I've only got £37 in my current account which really needs to be kept for next week's budget.

Hope you friend manages to get the neighbour'd dog, they sound awful.
I've not watched Benefit Street, I think it would make me shout at the tv"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Afternoon DFW,
So glad your Ds is better, funny , 9 times out of ten my children make a sudden recovery at about 10am.
You may only have £34 left over this week, but at least your are in control and have paid your bills etc. I am switching banks at the moment and I can't wait to get my budget organised.
It's Friday, Hope you have a lovely weekend xxx0 -
19 Months and counting till we are in a new house!
I have had a complaint put against me today from the neighbours. I have come to the conclusion that they are seriously deranged. My husband was called in to work so that the complaint could be addressed and he was presented with 3 pages of complaints. I will share a few because to be perfectly honest with you they are so absurd i'm in between feeling these emotions right now 1) :mad: 2):eek: 3):huh: 4):wall:. One complaint- we were fly tipping in their garden, this one provoked the :huh:, egg shells to be exact :huh:. Someone had been throwing egg shells in the garden for days on end. We put ours into the garden waste bin not in neighbour's gardens :wall:. Another complaint- someone was peering in through the front room window - literally nose pressed to window being nosey?! They couldn't be sure it was me, but thought it definitely looked like me :mad:. Again didn't do this. Another complaint- my ds2 went into their garden last year and pulled up a flower. Yes he did. We punished him there and then and apologised and offered to buy more. They refused saying it was ok. I could go on but I won't bore you........i'm gobsmacked if i'm totally honest!
Also aside from the 3 pages of mini complaints (mostly made up I have to add...!) they had copies of the emails sent to the rspc@. This evening i've sent a complaint off to them about "anonymous" complaints suddenly becoming un-anonymous!!! We think that they may know someone in the small branch where the dog comes from hence the inside info they have gathered. The only complaints they have are the ones from that particular email address (we complained to them as well as main branch and they have no details of these) on these they have names, email addresses and the entire copy of what was complained about. Really not happy. After stern letter I told them I was washing my hands of it, although i'm still sad for the dog to be stuck with those nutcases I have 19 months left here and they are already trying to make my life a living hell and DH goes away next week. Basically I can do without this grief. i've been in tears all afternoon and feel like i've done something wrong, even though I know deep down I haven't it's the way this whole thing is making me feel. Sorry for rant, DH has broken the NSD and gone out to get me a bottle of wine bless him. I think I need it!

What appalling behaviour by RSPC^
What absolute nutcases your neighbours are
Cannot believe some of those complaints, I'm sure if you were going to fly tip you'd think of something better than eggshells
Counter complain about the feathers out of poor dog's destroyed bedding
Glad OH is being supportive
Enjoy your wine and these ((((DFw))))

I hope you kept the nasty text messages from neighbour so you can show them to the necessary people. There is obviously something else wrong with them and they are trying to focus on something they think they can take control over rather than dealing with the underlying problem. My 'friend' does this a lot. Would army move you to another house on camp so you cant do things (or be accused of doing these things). Did your OH get a chance to stand up for you and say most of it was made up? Lets hope 19 months goes by very very fast and always remember were all here

Good grief - the things some people make you put up with!!! Totally and utterly not your fault, so get that out of your head right now. As for the RSPCA????
Good on hubby on recognising that sometimes NSD's need to go to heck. Sit back, relax (as much as you can) and enjoy that wine.
Take care of yourself.0 -

Wow I am lost for words. Like a previous poster said, is there not any way you can request to be temporarily moved to another area on camp. It is shocking how 1 person can make your life a misery.
I know none of it is your fault, but I really feel there is no winning against this completely unreasonable woman. Is there ANY way you can move away sooner than 19 months?. Family etc.
I really feel for you, especially with your husband going away soon. Do you have any friends you could go to stay with while he is away. I know it will make you feel like she is winning, but who cares, you just need to get away from her.
Enjoy that bottle of wine, bless your Dh for going to get it for you. What is his opinion? Has he chatted to her husband/partner??. Sometimes some women (i.e her) can get a little overly involved with things and sometimes the men can talk calmly and logically to resolve the issue?. I imagine you have tackled this already, but just thoughts...
I wish there was an instant solution to putting an end to it. I feel for you hun.
