Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

The pleasure is all mine @Former-Member. Great to see you also @Faith-and-Hope.

I do enjoy my morning cup of tea. Ahhhh .... nice. And lovely company to go with it, makes it all the better.

Unfortunately I cannot luxuriate in the company for long, I need to do grocery shopping this morning. So I need to head off now. Thanks for your company. May catch you later.

Good morning @Former-Member@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope

Yes a belated cupa is always good...

My mind was still racing over fences & work muckups - so it wasn't a restful night.

Yes please @Former-Member

Hello @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Smc, @Former-Member, @dands26, @cheerbear29, @Determined , @Adge

Ohhh @Adge, i was wondering how you went last night , hope everything is ok

Thanks @Shaz51

My neighbour has never been pro-active with doing any repairs - so I think it's best to go with it, & let her have the tradesmen start putting in the new fence tomorrow (Monday). Since she is so determined.

The issue is the extremely short-notice (2 days), & the high $5000 price tag. So I'm hoping to come up with a workable compromise.

The work disorganisation & lack of notification of shift hours (or where to go) is constant, daily.

That's what you get when you replace the entire management team (all at once), & there's no one left to organise things...

Thinking of you @Adge. Hope you can come to an amicable solution with your neighbour.

We had a late night (early morning..???) last night, due to car hassles unfortunately.

Well, it was going to be late anyway because we'd travelled down to the city for an end of year dinner get together we'd been looking forward to. The car had electrical problems during the week, which we thought had been solved, but it started stalling when we were most of the way to the dinner, and failed completely on the way home. We have the most generous roadside assistance package, and it more than paid for itself with a 150 km towtruck trip in the wee hours of the morning... so we (eventually) got to sleep in our own bed. Hubby's still asleep, but I'll wake him shortly for brunch because a friend is coming to pick us up mid afternoon for an early Christmas before her son goes away for the holidays.

Really due for a coffee... I'll have my usual of a cold milk coffee, and maybe I'll bump it up with some vanilla essence. A shot of hazelnut flavouring would be nice but there's none in the pantry. Oh well, I'll live.

@Adge
Check your state fencing act, if you don't agree to their plan, usually they will need to serve a 'notice of intention to erect a fence' etc. giving you time to respond with your cheaper quotes. If they fail to comply, they may not be able to enforce payment. (You need to check this out properly)
