So I hear on the grapevine that the wall is starting to be built next week. The wall be on the boundary I believe but unfortunately there is damage on my side of the boundary from when the drive was dug up & the existing boundary removed without consultation. Neighbour has had a go at my mum & one of my friends who were looking at what has been done. Interestingly he did not challenge DS last week when they did the same.Apparently they are not happy about the cats going into their garden.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Bullies beanie. That is why your DS wasn't challenged. I had that at my last house when they were building their extension. Bullies.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I wish them luck trying to stop a cat from going where it wants to. Last summer I had one go from the top of one of my wheelie bins over the path & onto the garage roof. My heart was in my mouth when it then with a very small touch on the fence jumped into next door. It kept all its nine lives but I suspect it shortened mine.4

Sorry you’re having neighbour trouble. Are they new to the area?The dexterity of cats amazes me. It’s cat central around here and I suspect they all use my garden as their toilet. But the way they jump onto the fence from the floor and balance on the 2 inch width at the top is amazing…..all apart from next doors cat who still wobbles and is very dubious about jumping. The vet thinks she has inner ear problems…..it’s not the friendliest of cats either. The little boy who lives there is so cute with her and she just goes for him…..he still calls her his little sister 😂❤️
Sorry things are still difficult but glad you had a lovely lunch with friends. Socks sound a bargain 👍January spends - £587.583 -

Mmm. Plodding on. Things continue to be challenging here.Sunshine_girl2 said:How are you doing Beanie ?To cap it all I got communication from the DVLA that someone has challenged my ‘fitness to drive’.
