Right now! Watching my house being emptied of all goods. The final bits will go tomorrow... The place looks so big now with no furniture.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Removed 12 dodgy bearings.
Which were all seized on a shaft, and carrying 60 year old bakelite rollers. Everything survived intact, and no one is more surprised than me..

Dug out fucking loads of bamboo that was now appearing in the neighbours lawn. I'm fucking broken. Hot bath, cold beer, gin & tonic and ibuprofen.

Re: What have you done today thread?
My boy turns 12 today, so we're off out on MTB soon. He said he wanted muffins for his birthday breakfast and rules in this house are, on your birthday you get anything you want.
So I was up at 6 to make sure they were baked and cooled in time

Re: What have you done today thread?
Moved house. Surrounded by piles of boxes. BT Man was here in the morning and got the internets working, so children are happy.... me too as I have meetings on Saturday and Monday which are compulsory. No kitchen until Saturday PM due to various shortages in goods. But that is life. Exhausting, but it is nice to be in the place and we will get the other house ready for sale.

Would love to, but shared ownership lease means we cannot do that unfortunately. Really annoying to be honest and we don't have the funds to buy the rest of the house.

Can you come and do ours? We've got an area about 8ft square with that fucking bastard in that's about 20ft high... if you stand still enough you can pretty much watch it growing.

I did chop about half of it down last September (and then comedically drove it down the tip with it sticking out about 6 feet from the back of my Landy) but it's now back to about 7ft high where I chopped it down. It's evil. Was gonna try and source a panda on the dark web.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Finished the walls of my wildlife pond, just waiting the liner now. I may have over ordered the rock as I've got enough left over to build another one and then some, but I've got some more Gabions coming to replace our wooden front garden fence thats rotting away and build a small garden table.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today, I finished the last 2 cameras at the girlfriends. If some cowardly scum wants to repeat their actions of a few weeks ago when he/she/it terrorised 2 women in their own home, smashed windows on the cars and slashed tyres I will now have even more evidence than the twat has already left for the Police.
The girlfriend is still a bit traumatised by their actions but is now happy to stay in the house on her own. She is very strong, but this has caused her to rethink the future. Her car is for sale as she isn’t happy to have it parked out front, she struggles to fit it in the garage, she is considering selling but me still working makes it more difficult to decide where to settle for our retirement.
Aside from that, today I had 2 fry ups!!! One at breakfast at hers and I’ve just cooked the same before I go to work on nights. Full moon, independance day, lunar eclipse, I would avoid the M1 tonight, we are expecting some madness!!
I also got the step stringers today so I can finish the deck steps tomorrow!!

Sorry to state the obvious, but why don't you move ? The area and the resident scum will never change.636mick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 8:12 pm Today, I finished the last 2 cameras at the girlfriends.

Re: What have you done today thread?
She is considering it mate. She has been in that house for almost 30 years, it’s the house where her husband died and her daughter was bought up. I get why she is reluctant to sell, just because of one neighbour, we think. Hopefully the Police will be able to prove it was him, them I guarantee there will be no more issues.
The area is really nice spoilt by one family, as happens in a lot of places. I’m with you, I think she should move. I live about 40 miles away, she loves it in my village so who knows!!
