Good evening all.

I got my new car! It's a Ford Focus :)

And, even more exciting, son got called in to see the owner of the company that he's working for during his university placement year.

He's only half way through his contract and they've just offered him a permanent job on condition he finishes his degree and graduates. They've also offered him part time remote work while he's at university which will help with the fees :)

It's really rather wonderful news :)

Good morning all.
A very cold but bright morning here.

I'm going to have a little rant now and let off steam so apologies in advance.
I need to go out but my neighbours are up to their old tricks.
They have chopped down all the blackberry bushes behind the wall in the lane at the end of my garden again, which at this time of year isn't a massive loss as they have all shed their leaves and will grow again, but they are having their garden repaved at the moment and are dumping rubble on top of it all too.
They can't see the mess from their own garden but it is in full view of mine.
I am worried the old stone wall won't be able to take much more weight behind it.
Everything behind it has come from their house and garden over the years.
I may be being a bit oversensitive but this really is feeling like bullying - they only do the section at the end of my garden and leave the rest at the end of my other neighbours. They think they can do whatever they want without any consideration for my opinions or feelings. I avoid confrontation at all costs when I can as I am on my own without backup. They also only do things which they know will affect me, when I am in work so the damage is done when I get home.

I know I can contact environmental health about fly tipping again, but I feel as if I am in danger of looking as if I am one of these people who constantly complain.
I just don't know what to do anymore and it is really getting to me, to the point where I don't want to leave the house when they are 'active'. I can't avoid going to work and I'm usually a pretty calm person, but my anxiety levels are through the roof as I worry about what they are doing while I'm gone.
If anyone has any ideas (landmines not an option) please let me know.

So sorry Lyn.
Rational thinking when angry isn't my strong point.
A dialog that asserts myself as the alpha would have happened years ago.
Then if necessary TWO FOLD retaliation untill they submit.
