Ernie can buy you the jumper 👍
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪1 -
Absolutely @KajiKita though don't want to be the people who go running to mum and dad when we're not the ones with the problem (and also we're effing adults!), and god knows what she's been claiming about us. We're perfectly happy being polite and pleasant. And I know you only said it as an example but it's definitely not a bins issue as they've land-grabbed quite a bit of our legally shared land. Have we made drama out of it? No we have not
It was a lovely Sunday thank you, and you @Blackcats. And @beanielou and @Sun_Addict I did consider using some of the PB money for the jumper but alas discipline must come first when there are pots needing filling. If I really feel I must have this jumper (I kinda do) then it will have to come out of my monthly budget and if I can see where its possible to go without elsewhere. I do own multiple jumpers, it's not a need
@Slowdown no trouble yet but don't know if she's back yet, we won't be answering door tomorrow for sure. We're off to Norf in a few days so just have to avoid until then. Your new profile pic is beautiful and very similar to the one lampshade in our home that's 'the fancy lampshade' 😂
Kaj and Slo, sane is pushing it but not causing trouble would be lovely 😊

As for the land-grabbing, maybe you should have a non-family member legal team come in and make sure that lines are drawn properly for the benefit of "future heirs".

Well thank you for the profile pic compliment. I make stained glass windows and this is a snippet of one I made of an ammonite. 😊

The shared land is all of ours (both households) @weenancyinAmerica, they've just used quite a bit of it. Not currently an issue but if this ridiculous situation continues we definitely have some things we can mention that have not been respectful 😁
Oh my goodness @Slowdown, that is gorgeous, you clever talented thing!
