Good Evening Diane,

You are a busy little bee today, sit down now and rest that hip.

Berona I noticed you'd gone missing. Does the Pest Exterminator dispense with unsavoury neighbours too lol.

Linda I buy four pint cartons of milk and freeze it, works out fine so long as you remember to defrost it. There are four in the freezer now.

Tec................11-15pm.

Helloooooo All

Its all changed!! I go away for awhile and look what happens!

Well Christmas is on its way now as we received our hampers this week. A bit earlier that normal but well received. I am a rep for the company so I also received a nice cheque to go with it :-).

Weather is starting to warm up now and the wind a night is very strong a good indication on how hot it is going to be. Have cleaned the spa in readiness for use this year as we haven't used it yet.

Have a lazy morning then having a catch up with a friend in the afternoon for a cuppa and chat.

Hope everyone is happy :-)

Hi Linda, good idea but all money is needed for christmas and that is going to be hard enough to find.

Not really Amanda I'm just shifting a few thing's around, got 2 new display cabinet's that were given to me ( as if I haven't got enough furniture in the liveing room ) and was putting them were I want them.

Tec that neighbour of your's sound's like some-one who wasn't keen on doing DIY and if he did it badly wouldn't be asked to do it again lol.

Hi Berona pest exterminater, what pest is he exterminating, we only call them in if we are over-run with flea's, but thankfully not something I have ever had to do even though I have had a problem once when some-one visited mine and brought the pesky thing's with them and as they had a cat the little pest were quite happy to attach themselves to my cat.

Hello Janet,

Good to see you here - yes Christmas is rapidy approaching, but as we are in the grip of a big freeze in the UK I expect we will all be hiding in our houses.
I quite fancy spending Christmas in the sun for a change. Hope all is well with you, and the family.

Tec..........11-30pm.

Goodnight Amanda,
sleep well after all that exercise today - keep warm.

Diane - Maybe that guy was cleverer than me, by doing DIY so badly, he wouldn't be asked again - sly old devil, wish I'd thought of that years ago lol.

Tec..........11-35pm.

Hi all~~

I noticed the change at the beginning of the thread shown on the index page, same happened with one of mine, it looked silly so I went into my first post and altered ...after 2 attempts !

Hope everyone is well :)

I'm either early or late for you lot .lol

We've had about 3 inches of snow , so have got away quite well compared to parts of the country looking at the news 15 inches in Northumberland.

It's still hard for me to understand, but although I own my home, for some reason, I don't own the garage which is attached to it and has an inside access to my living room. I only own the outside perimeter of my house and courtyard and I can use the garage, but not alter the structure in any way. So, it's the garages and shared driveway, and parking bays which are being sprayed. If we want our homes sprayed, we have to make those arrangements ourselves.
Pest exterminators spray for cockroaches, spiders, fleas, mice - you name it. Many Australian homes are sprayed yearly to keep them free of any kind of vermin.
Tec - I wish it did include SOME people. My n.d. neighbour comes from a country where they live with those things and he only has his grass cut about three times a year - but when it does get cut - I have to go mad with the surface spray to stop things from coming under the fence - lizards, field mice, cockroaches, etc. He waits until the grass is waist-high before he gets one of his friends to cut it for him. He never does it himself - he does NOTHING himself - but never pays money if he can exchange favours.

Hi Sandie, btw I'm not sure if you misunderstood my post yesterday hun, firstly employer is a man ( though just like a child ) if you know what I mean and secondly his mum is not going into restbite but he is. His mum will come home after her opperation and rest at home while her son is away in restbite care.
Hope you are fine today and feeling more yourself.

Good night Tec, you and OH have a good and warm sleep

Berona can't you report him to who-ever you report to when a neighbour causes you problem's ?
How did that other neighbour of your's get on, the one who was having problem's paying rate's or something ( memory not that good on the particular's ) did she end up having to leave.

Good night to those retiring to warm beds. Sleep well.

I must go too. I think I hear activity out in the driveway. I'll need to know when to open my garage - and my neighbour's garage too.
