We have quite a decent frontage for the size of house on this estate. We are going to dig some of it up and landscape it instead to keep the dogs off. Shouldn't have to but that is what it has come to.IzzyBee said:My friend lives on the end of a street she has a beautiful garden but the front isn’t fenced she has lovely shrubs and plants all around and the amount of people who actually bring there dogs on to her grass to do there business is shocking and when she goes and tackles them they say well I pick it up that’s not the point it’s her garden let them do it in there own garden if that’s the case people never cease to amaze me
If all else fails we will put railings around our frontage.7 -
I managed to fill a carrier bag on trip 2 to the park, several lone gloves that have been there for ages and even a t-shirt! The mind boggles!The chicken is in the Ninja and the smell is driving the dog mad, she’s hanging round sniffing the air 😆 No doubt waiting for her share.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

The dog poo has increased hugely since lockdown 1 around my area. Lots of new dogs with irresponsible owners. The litter problem is horrendous but the council haven't helped by giving us small recycling boxes with no lids when we are on the west coast and get a lot of wind so every week half the rubbish gets blown around and the bin men don't pick it up. They will sell you a fabric cover but I suspect these will quickly go astray.6

Mr SA enjoyed his chicken dinner but dropped the plate taking it back to the kitchen, so yet another broken plate and bits of food all over the floor for me to clear up 😩🤬I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Would you not just be better to repay the mortgage now to reduce the interest?

No the interest is fixed until August 2022. I want to pay off the balance then. I can overpay by £1500 a year.
If you think a t-shirt is odd, a couple of years ago there was a Spanish dress attached to one of the trees, I kid you not 🤔I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Hi SA just delurking to say that my annual MRI brain scan is going ahead. Delayed slightly by my pre MRI kidney blood function test being moved from GP to hospital and waiting 3 weeks for that appointment. I have barely left the house since March 17th last year but will attend these appointments. Luckily for me I can walk to these appointments as I refuse to use the bus due to morons without face masks.8
