What a pity about people parking over your drive.
If a car is blocked over your driveway, blocking you in, then that is an offence (restricting access to the highway) and the police should be able to attend and have the vehicle removed.
If a car is parked over a dropped kerb, preventing you from parking on your property, the power to do something about this has usually been transferred from the police to the local enforcement agency.
I'm not sure what council you are in, but it might be worth checking out the council's website, and looking for a page like this:
https://www.york.gov.uk/info/20014/streets_roads_and_pavements/1691/parking_enforcement
Our council up here is really nippy about people parking incorrectly. They issue parking tickets to people who park across dropped kerbs to driveways, though not across driveways where the kerb isn't dropped and instead there are a couple of small ramps.
I would take photos of both cars blocking your driveway then call the council and report them for blocking your access onto your property.0 -

Thankyou.
I will chat with both neighbours about the lines outside being changed. ( acting innocently about the neighbour who is one of the antagonists ofcourse).
£140 to have a white line painted that is a deterrent but not enforceable? ( must re-read that), means I will have to juggle
I shall see if favourable neighbour wants to ask as she did mention it before.
Now I must go to bed or tomorrow I will struggle.

Morning. Still woke early. Having my cup of tea in bed. Just played shuffle with my funds although today is not a payday in anyway, so the name of the game is to round down accounts and move little bits into savings pots. So something gets saved even if it's only £3.65 in my co-op account, and £4.56 in my FD bank.
The aim of the game is to either make the current accounts an even, rounded number, or round up the saver account to the next £100
I know I'm a bit mad. But it seems to work and keeps money trickling into savings.
In the business account I have started to put 20% of any cleared funds received into the savings account ready for the tax man when I do my returns, as I think I'm looking at some profit over the year. Although it may not be as much as my tax threshold it is a good start to prepare myself for it in the future.
Twin1 rang last night. They are coming to collect DGD after school on Friday. Then I will have a little over a week to myself, ( and a myriad of builders etc!)
I will be so glad when it is all sorted out and I can redecorate.
I might even splurge on a new cooker and fridge/freezer if I get those savings pots up a bit more.
I'm trying to keep positive, and focused.
I have finished my big curtain order, and have another set of curtains to start today. But I also have 8 other alterations that must be done by tomorrow. So I will be very busy indeed.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Spent the day doing lots of varied alterations.
Taking dresses up on shoulders, shortening straps, re-elasticating a gypsy top, took in two pairs of trousers, shortened 3 pairs, shortened a skirt. Repaired a torn pair of trousers. There might have been something else but I can't remember now. I didn't get to the curtains.
My arm hurts today, so I must be careful.
I got cramp in my left foot while driving to work, and in my right one not long after! I don't recall having cramp while driving before! Not nice.
The Asdafood delivery is due anytime now. Once that's put away I think I shall have a nice bubble bath and an early night.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
I feel your pain! I'm currently nursing a very sore neck/shoulder which is getting progressively worse. I've smothered it in deep heat tonight but it's not touching the pain. I also suffer severe cramps in both hands and feet. No fun at all when it happens when you're driving.
I don't know whether it's age related. I'm a few years younger than you but been on HRT past 6 months, or whether it's indicative of more serious problems.
I might possibly need some of your valuable advice in the coming weeks as I've just bought myself a caravan that needs re-furnishing (covers/curtains/cushions etc) which means digging out the old sewing machine I bought around 20 years ago but never got around to using :rotfl:
Once I find out which model I've got (I'm thinking possibly Brother or Panasonic) then I'll search for online manuals/videos etc. But it's been over 30 years since I last used a machine so may need a few tips
Hope you feel better after your bubble bath x0 -

I see you are based in Norfolk so if you need a hand to figure it out depending on what manuals you find, I may not be too far away from you.
Mooloo those are some impressive quantities you are getting through there, please do make sure you give yourself some time to rest though, a bubble bath is a good start. It's great the staff are being reasonably flexible with the work too to help you.- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Swagbucks, Mingle, GiffGaff, Prolific, Qmee & Quidco; thank you MSE every little bit helps0 -
I'm at work again! Wednesday's are supposed to be my days off, but staff is off to Wales to collect her father-in-law for a few days.
The other seamstress is going to do overtime today. But she doesn't like doing the shop side so I need to be here until at least 1pm when we officially close.
So the kettle is on, the shops ready to unlock, money is out of the safe and into the drawer.
There is plenty of work.
First up, changing the threads on the overlocker and a skirt to shorten.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Just waiting for DGD to finish her yoghurt then taking her to her school disco. A friend will collect her for me as I'm teaching tonight.
Been a weird day. Some very odd jobs in to do.
One was a disgrace really. The most tattered, torn and perishing sheet to repair. In my opinion it was only fit for the bin! The most well spoken lady then also wanted it to be taken to the dry cleaners afterwards! Oh and the collar turned on a blouse!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
i hope you said no to the sheet Mooloo!0
