Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 2

Welly I think that fine.

What do you think to this response to HA

Dear whatsit,

Thank you for your response to my advising you that my neighbours are blocking us in again.

The reason for raising it was it was agreed as part of the mediation in 2014 and reiterated last year that they would not block us onto the car park at any time.

When I had my mini stroke last year from the stress of this and an ambulance were called they were unable to access my property, as we were blocked in, this meant I was carried into the ambulance dribbling in full view of all passers by.

As you feel it's reasonable I am sure you won't mind my parking my car directly behind yours at 3.45pm on Friday, it will only be till 5.30pn or so, so just for a short while.

Kind regards
Me

I think that gets the point across, mellymoo. Have you been keeping a diary of when it happens - I'm thinking a record of of how often it's happening will reinforce the point plus an additional query as to the point of an agreement that asbo neighbours are then enabled tp ignore.
Then again I'm told my emails are sometimes rather too direct so I may not be the best person to listen to.
I need to go to town to see if I've left it too late for a mothers day card. Preferably not one that's all hearts, flowers and cute teddies. (Not that there's anything wrong with those they're just not me.)

I am keeping a log and 9 times out of 10 also taking a picture to show this.

I need to get working so I can get a solicitor involved.

Made me feel better to write it. Might rewrite later with the bit in about ignoring agreements.

Well today for a little light relief, I am decorating cupcakes. It sounds better than it is, it's a workshop for people to learn how to do it and let's just say my efforts are usually pretty horrendous.

The bits and pieces look good until I have to attempt to do them, between my tremor and my complete lack of design skills, they tend to not look anything like they are supposed to.

It is good fun though, I do get anxious in the hours leading up to it as it means I have to meet new people/am on view in all my weirdness but the sense of achievement afterwards (even with my hopeless efforts), is amazing.

After today, my next big challenge is going to middle son's first big uni gig. I have conquered going out locally for gigs but going to a completely different town amongst complete strangers (and in a biggish venue) is causing some nerves. On top of this is the decision on whether I drive there or get the train, train means I don't have the worry about crashing my car, can have a drink at the venue and don't have to worry about driving tired but it also means it is much more expensive, it is a hassle with the wheelchair, we have to faff about for 2 days without a car and lots of taxis would be involved.

Taking the car is cheaper and more flexible, we can leave at times to suit us and stop whenever we like and we can get there in half the time but it does mean I can't have a drink and have the worry about where to park it whilst there (the hotel car park is reached down a very narrow and pot holed track, gives me palpitations just thinking about it).

If anyone is in the Northampton area on the 22nd of this month, the Roadmender is the place to be! Free entry too.....

Poster paint is turning my salt dough to mush.

Emulsion is my next attempt!

Cardboard boxes everywhere (empty), need to start packing too but motivation is lacking.

Welly If you are using pva as a top coat you need a paint that isn't water based . Hope you feel better .

Aww thanks I want to believe. Think we are getting a taxi to the Roadmender just in case I do have one drink though, it is more the parking whilst at the hotel but hopefully, middle son will have a word with the uni and I can park there (he is disabled so is allowed a space plus the visit is two fold, he is coming home with us for the Easter holidays, so it is a dual gig and uni pick up trip).

If I get stuck though, I will get in contact.

Thanks

I love the roadmender!! Spent many a happy night there

Welly Just a thought did you bake them and leave to cool completely or let them air dry for two days . If not they will turn to mush . The best paint is acrylic craft paint . If your emulsion is a silk washable type is may work as long as they are dried out . If it does you wont need pva .
