Oh great - the first bit of nice weather we have and the local barstools have started chucking stuff at nextdoor trying to smash his windows :mad: Not a problem you would think, except they keep hitting my house instead :mad::mad: There is now what looks like plaster all over the yard which I only swept yesterday and now when I come to clean it up I'll end up ruining DDs art work from tonight she did :mad:

why are they trying to smash next doors windows or are they just idiots - no capitals or punctuation that requires shift key as hand covered in wax again xx

evening all
I decided to post before reading tonight, mainly cos I am watching The Apprentice and its so good

Actually managed to do some flying this morning - makes a change - but was then interrupted by my lovely DH phoning from the States, so I sat with a coffee (which I hasten to add I didnt even drink LOL) and chatted with him for 15 minutes, it was lovely. Things are gong really well for them, making lots of leads, all very positive. Tonight is his last night in the hotel and then he flies back tomorrow night overnight arriving back Friday morning.

Other than that I've just managed to keep the house vaguely clean. Oh put a washing on. Can't hoover, its broken. Carpet is a right old state but hey ho.

Right going to read the thread now

The house is majorly run down and looks empty (apparently the fella doesn't know how to look after himself since his mum died) until you manage to get close enough to see the rubbish piled high etc :mad: The kids like to try and smash the windows for fun I assume. We've nearly had our windows put in a few times when they've been aiming for next door - they've got a hopeless aim though as there's an alleyway between us and that house anyway! :rolleyes:
