Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member @Determined

Yes I looked up the Fencing Act yesterday.

It said that if one party insists on a premium quality fence (above standard) - the other party is only required to pay half the cost of a "sufficient (basic) fence".

Not half the cost of the premium or more expensive fence.

So I'm trying to go with that. I've already said clearly to my neighbour that I cannot pay for half of a $5000 fence. Which she seemed okay with.

It was not possible to look at alternatives since she was determined to go ahead with it straight away.

Plus I was not part of any of the negotiations or pricing.

Hope it sorts ok for you @Adge, see what happens and how much she expects you to fork up, hope you don't feel any pressure to come up with any more than 1/2 the basic fence cost.

Something like that @Former-Member.
Don't know where we are at the moment. Just have to wait and see.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge .... you are quite within your rights to get three quotes on a basic fence replacement and when it comes to paying, you can bring those to the table. They should be very close in pricing, and you can tell her you will be paying half the cost of those. If she has already heard you say it, it sounds like she is on the same page, that she will be paying all the premium.

Yes @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Determined ..... it sounds like coffee and chocolate are the way to go this afternoon.

Are you with us @Smc .... ? Any other takers ?
