    Re neighbours... until somebody's suffered at the uncaring hands of poor neighbours you can't begin to understand the way the anxiety of what/when/where consuming your every waking moment; you're unable to relax, expecting "it" to start at any minute... the trouble is that, in the main, there are few others who are affected by them/in the same way/to the same degree.... so you're really "on your own" - and when you ARE "on your own entirely" ... and feel/are powerless to change anything, it sucks all the energy from you night and day, day and night, week in, week out, endlessly .... never a moment's peace. Nothing... anxiety all the way, awaiting for the "next bit of nonsense".

    I'll be moving soon - and the next house will have the lessons learned applied to the decision-making ticklist. But you never know what new horrors you're buying into do you :)

    That's handy - it'd be awful if you begrudged the very air she breathed!

    Nobody ever asked me.... so I never got to make the decision.

    It is :):):)
    I'll be looking out my copy of a "Big Fat Greek Wedding" tonight :rotfl::rotfl:
    That said I don't think they are in any hurry to tie the knot and I suspect when they do it will be low key.;)

    Thankfully I can only imagine how distressing a NFH can be. <<hug>>

    Plenty of time to look for a "new hat" then?
    Lunch was the tinned sardines as planned, but no fig, not quite ripe enough, maybe tomorrow
    Dinner will be as planned, with nuked frozen peas


    Rain looking even less likely now, sun's out, watered everything

    It's not that I don't do hats, they don't do me :rotfl: my sister says we look like mushrooms with a hat on :rotfl:

    I think most of us have had annoying neighbours but few of us have been unlucky enough to have NFH I'm just glad they have gone PN as no one should feel unsafe in their own home especially if they live alone :) hopefully you can sort your move without the added stress of these awful neighbours :)

    Lunch was a smoked mackerel salad, a lot nicer than yesterday lunch, TBH it would have been difficult to have been worst :cool:. Dinner will be late to night as I'm just off out so depending on time will be eggs of some kind or I've crumpets hiding in th e freezer:rotfl:

    Or could be both
