Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge won't hold you up while you are on the job.

@Faith-and-Hope Perhaps this to go with your coffee

@Adge, when our side fence was replaced, our neighbour made all the arrangements including the contract. We were fairly new to home ownership and wouldn't have had a clue what was involved back then, so it was all done informally, cash paid to our neighbour and she paid the fencer. She was an honest lady, so it worked out well enough. Ours wasn't a "premium" job by any means- she wanted to re-use the existing corrugated iron, which we were fine with, as even then it badly stretched our budget.

Hoping yours works out as honestly and equitably... good relationships with neighbours are somewhat vital for peace of mind.

Hahaha @Former-Member .... I will have to keep that in mind ..... ❣️

People are generally pretty good about things like that I think @Adge @Smc .... who wants to have ongoing dramas with the neighbours ?

thank you @Former-Member for the Special wave

Hello @Faith-and-Hope, @Smc, @Adge, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Former-Member

I don't have any stuffing either @Faith-and-Hope It's all been knocked out of me...

Perhaps I can use some of @Former-Member's stuffing...

Yes @Smc Good neighbourly relations are important, otherwise things can be very uncomfortable indeed.

This situation was made much more difficult by the fact that this neighbour & I have been on a "no contact whatsoever" basis for the past 6 years - since she left my cat to die for 8 hours in her driveway (after running over it).

Extreme animal cruelty is an under-statement. I didn't really blame her for running over my cat, as that was an accident - it was leaving it there to die that was inexcusable.

The fence has indeed been removed (it's all gone) - & I'm thankful to say that they've not caused any damage (that I can see), whilst doing it.

My side Jarrah fence (with gate) remains intact, which is good. I was worried that they might demolish that (as well) - which would have left me with no way of blocking intruders (from coming down the side of my house).

So far so good...

Here's a Christmas t-shirt for you @Adge

Thanks @Former-Member I can't wait to see what the T-shirt looks like...

Your neighbour might be trying to make much-belated amends for your cat too @Adge ..... so hard to believe someone could even do that ..... but if she has felt awful about it in hindsight, she may be trying to do something nice for you now.

I hope so, if only to understand how wrong she was and how hurtful .....

Good morning everyone .... 💕

My body clock is still all over the place. Didn’t sleep till around 2:30am .... and just crawling out of bed now .... so around 7hrs sleep at least ......

Need to go in search of a good coffee next, methinks.
