Morning. Well I tried to drive down to Manchester. I got to just at Gretna services and the floods and roads were beyond awful. I seen three bad crashes and one I do not think the person survived. The rain was worst I have ever seen. It resulted in a bad anxiety attack at Gretna services and I could not go on anymore, I waited twenty minutes and drove home in absolute fear. I could not move that night once home and slept on off drained. Yesterday was a right off as well.
This morning suffering from tinitus, which is god awful, static noise in ear and everyone sounds like a robot.
Got someone coming tonight to price how much it would cost to build me a fence in the garden. Just so I know how much to save. Hoping £300 (wishful thinking!) but guessing be double that if not more

Police are coming round tonight. The other day a woman couldnt get into a space she wanted as I was next to it (but there was a car behind me so I could not move) and she got out and started punching my drivers seat window. Luckily I did not have my son but because she took pictures of my car and tried to of me I had to file a complaint as police said she could put something on fb and i may get harrassed.... greatThe police did not even bother to show.

Hope you're ok monz - that's awful.
Recently someone broke into my car. They only stole a lunchbox and an empty file I use for work. Police told me someone would be out in 5-7 days... um.. the evidence would be gone by then! They didn't end up calling me at all!
But you're right - you should report it and speak to the police to cover your back and so they have a record in case it happens to someone else.Single woman doing it on my own... First house bought June 2021!

Had someone come out to price what it will be for new fencing... awaiting a price still. Got another one coming out tonight also. I want to ask about before deciding and also so I know what to save lol! 25 metres worth so I think could be a pretty penny

Why not go UPVC (well at least I think it is). Guaranteed for 20 years & no painting/replacing panels required. Yes it is very expensive but once its done it is done.
ETA try cocklestorm composite UPVC panels for the sort of thing I mean0
