    As a "Merry Christmas" to the rest of the 'housemates', I brushed up the leaves in the garden, bagged up a hoarded pile of rotten wood from behind the shed and dismantled some rotten garden furniture.

    That made 4 bags of leaves, 3 bags of rotten wood and a pile of rotten planks to be collected by a waste collection service (at my expense) today.

    It was all there ready to be collected when I left the flat this morning.

    At the house, I packed up the last of the stuff to go into storage to be collected tomorrow. Mini fridge, microwave, chair, TV table and 3 boxes of 'stuff', some of it fragile.

    So I finished at the house and went back to the flat to wait for the waste men.

    To find,



    wait for it.....




    7 bags of complete rubbish missing and the rotten furniture piled up in the driveway of the next door neighbour's house. :huh:

    I did go look for them but they were gone.

    I went up the drive to check the NDN's bins, went up the other NDN's drive and checked their bins and I went round the front to find nothing in my bins.

    I did find a screwed up Amazon delivery card telling me that my parcels were behind my bins.

    No they weren't, they were on my doormat, inside the house.

    Someone, has taken in my parcels and someone (the same someone?) has saved me about £40, as half the rubbish was missing.

    I've spoken to people from both the other flats in the shared house and they had no idea either.

    Nope. No idea.

    Thank you whoever you are, Merry Christmas.

    Perhaps it was Father Christmas doing an early recce?

    Talk about Christmas d!jà vu.... am right back at having to unlock the door in record time as he just happens to be driving past, plus a lot of messages about how sorry he is and the usual !!!!. So sick of this.... not least because I know it's my own fault.

    ETA- sorry Tea, crossposted, not making light.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Not your fault, tea.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Gitdog has the best expressions :)

    I had a decade of warnings and still went back.... totally my fault.

    Gah...ignore me, just feeling sorry for myself and a bit panicky. The messages are all about how much he needs to speak to me etc... not a word about what I might want of course. He's not going to go away and there's not a thing I can do about it this time. Am such an eejit.

    Stop reading them, tea. Block him.

    And do call the police if he is harassing you. Even if you dropped the action before. You need to keep yourself safe.

    Currently hiding upstairs as I'm already onto my second unwanted visit of the day. Flipping wish I could call the police but as I lied to them before (and FOH knows this) I've completely scuppered myself. Plus he has a key again (yes, I'm that stupid). It's not like I can even talk to my parents this time.

    Have made a massive trap for myself and walked right into it.
