Sorry to hear about the horrible man. Hope you get a response from the police."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1

A quick early morning one. No sign of him last night or this morning except he came out of his house on his way to work just as we were getting to our front door. This wouldnt have been a problem but he is a motor cyclist and always comes out in leathers and crash helmet which Bear does not like. So I just got him in the house quickly and all was well.I have been thinking about the timing of all the incidents we have had with him and his dog and they have, I think, all have been on Friday night or at the weekend. To me that suggests alcohol is the problem.Nothing from the police yet but last time we had a prolem it took about a fortnight as they are "very busy". If I was being cynical I would say thats because of all the motorists who need to be caught doing 32mph in a 30mph area.Yes they do and I had to attend a speed awareness course because of it.4

I think you might have hit the nail on the head there re the neighbour. Probably alcohol - or drugs - or both! Are you keeping a note of dates and times the incidents happen?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Evening allThis will be a very short one a I am shattered. Woken by Bear at 6am. He wasnt intrusive at all but him beingthere was enough to wake me. Out by 8.30am to do the weekly shop with a taxi home. Lovely driver and we had a very interesting chat onthe way home.Mr LH woken on my return home. We now have a beautifully clean pond even if the fish dont appreciae being moved temporarily but we are now both shattered. Mr LH is asleep in his chaor and I feel very tired and weak from more activity than I can do. I still have to sort out two of the plants baskets that go in the pond tomorrow but other than that my bit is done.A couple of essential phone calls done to do with bil with the desired outcome. Garden watered using the water from the fishes temporary home so it didnt go to waste. I had to walk Bear on my own at linchtime as Mr LH was busy with the pond. He pulled like a tractor which hasnt helped my energy level but I am now off to read my Feix Grancis book.have a good evening all.6

Well done on getting the pond done. Hope you have a well-deserved rest today!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Thanks beanie. I am trying to space things out and to be fair Mr LH did most of the work yesterday. My plan for today are some ironing and finishing the plant baskets. Oh and throwing a few thingsin my suitcase to take to bils tomorrow. Thursday and Friday shouldnt be too arduous as I just have the 3 estate agents coming Thursday and the contents valuer on Friday and the travelling is over two days. I often sleep on the leg between Bath and Southampton which is the longest of the three.

Evening all.Everyone planned has been done and I am now looking forward to being up at 5.30am to get the train in the morning. I have packed except the odd things like phone charger (I wont have a TV so that will be my entertainment tomorrow evening plus a book.) and my hairbrush.The weather has been wet for part of the day. I actually did the pond baskets in the rain but needed to get them done before being away tomorrow and Friday. I will be leaving bils as soon as the valuer leaves but I have no idea how long he will be there. The trains are only hourly and then it will be a 3hour ish journey so hopefully home by late afternoon on Friday.Have a good couple of days.2
