Don't know what came over me. I have a broken washing machine that I have put out into the back garden so that the local council can come and take it away for re-cycling or whatever they do with them. It has to be easily accessible but not in front of your house or on the pavement. I put it to the side, not in the middle of the lawn. Paid them £12 to do so two weeks ago and still waiting, not really concerned, they are usually a bit slow. This afternoon a man who lives down the street came and knocked on my door and said it was a bloody disgrace having a broken washing machine in the back garden, that this was a nice estate and not 'Shameless' and if it wasn't moved in the next 24 hours he would report me to the council for creating an eyesore! I said two words to him , the second was 'off' and the first had four letters, then I shut the door in his face. I just flipped and dont understand it. I never swear and am usually quite laid back.

You want to be careful about lending out your 'poking stick' Bikergran when we were putting up a fence (on our land) our neighbour, who hates anything we do, called the police out and told them that OH had 'poked him with a stick'!!! OH had very politely asked neighbour to remove himself and his ranting from our property as the fence had nothing to do with him. The very nice, and very young PC could hardly contain his smile when he came around to tell us what had been reported. smile

Now then girls!

It seems to be that "my stick" is in great demand! therefore I am going to have to ask you to all form an orderly que smile smallest first, tall ones at the back grin

may I remind you that the stick is pointed at one end(although due to Health and Safety reasons I have had to sandpaper the point down a little) and blunt! at the other.! grin

also!! before I can allow usage aof the stick, one must have a valid reason

Hence ! you must disclose as to what purpose you need the stcik for ? shock

I don't lose my temper very often, but have realised that, when I do it's usually because I'm not feeling very well but I'm trying to carry on as if I'm ok. On the subject of Boots, I understand that they are going to be taken over by an American company.
