    well thats me done for the day. cut the grass front and back. and looks like I will have to go to the tip. As its two bags full and I can't put that in my black bin as no room for my house hold rubbish.

    Our council to save money are now charging for a green bin!!!! Lucky for me I live less than a 5 min journey from the tip. Still a pain.

    I had to do a cat mess patrol before I can start. have a massive phobia about cat and dog mess. So when I finish I have to strip off all my clothes in the kitchen Yep if I forget to close the blind the neighbours get an eye ful LOL!!! at least that neighbour moved :eek: And straight in to the washing machine and I go and have a shower and hair wash.

    Now all nice and clean in my nighty. I know early but well needs must. So no more painting as next door came home tonight :mad:

    Yours

    Calley, I don't understand why you can't paint if your neighbour's at home.
    Drilling or something noisy, I can understand, but painting is soooo quiet! Why would he object?

    Its down the stairs and under the stairs which on there side is the kitchen. So don't want to be banging about.

    And I can't do anything until 9ish due to waiting for the paint to dry.

    I am all clean and shiny now so no more decorating.

    She bangs about any time of day or night but I tend to be a bit more thoughtful.

    Yours

    You can live next door to me anytime! :A

    (Not that my neighbour's noisy......she isn't! I'm probably noisier, 'cos I've still got bare floorboards in my hall and up the stairs. After 15years! I know! I know!)

    I have had not carpet on top the stairs, in my bedroom and the front little bedroom for nearly 10 years.

    The people who lived here before were smokers. And the carpets were light purple with dark purple swirls were minging :rotfl:so I chucked them out.

    Since her partner left a couple of years ago she has got more noisy. Her children come to stay and none of them can seem to shut the front door quietly. Surprised its not come off the hinges :rotfl:

    Can't quote everyone, but general post to say thank you for sharing your own experiences and for the discussion. I'm feeling a lot calmer today!

    And.......guess who's now on holiday? Was down to work tomorrow and tuesday as well BUT somebody put me down for 4 days holiday and 3 working and for whatever reason 2 of the days had to designated days off, and seeing as the holiday was already put through they gave me tomorrow and tuesday off (works out the same money wise somehow), and my hours went to two people who wanted overtime so happy people all round. Plus i now have 2 days to finish my packing.

    Customers can be such confusing beings...earlier i on i asked i a woman "is that everything for you today?" she said "no", so i asked her "is there anything else i can get you?"...her reply...."no". :rotfl: Its like when you ask someone would you A or B and they just say "yes"

    Also I just made a quesadilla style snack but with nutella and marshmallows. I could only eat half of it. Anyone want the rest?

    Not very diet friendly.

    I'm not on diet but I'd rather eat my own knees first, so count me out ;)
