This is just a rant really. There's nothing we can do - we already have a lot of freedom living here.
Just got back from the school run this morning when I can hear an almighty noise out the back - thinking it is next door, I ignore it then I realise there are people in our garden.
I go out - it is some builders we've had before, who have been sent by the LL to sort out the garden.
It would have been nice if they had knocked.
We have been left to do all the gardening for the last 5 years and I've done so much - planted loads of trees, flowers, built stuff, etc etc.
For some guys t o come alongwith a strimmer when everything is WET and start randomly attacking parts of it. I know it is a bit messy at the moment. It's fucking loads better than when we moved in though and I have been pregnant and carrying round a newborn and still managed to do mowing, etc (in fact I just bought a strimmer and it isn't bad out there).
I went out and followed them around basically till they went away, they started hacking at my grape vine as well, I told them to stop and I would tie it back when I got a moment.
I just felt so invaded. One of them I had never met, he was smoking, dropping his fag ends in the grass where ds3 crawls, I mean it's like there is no fucking respect.
I HATE feeling like this. We treat it as though we own it. I've put in a new kitchen and bathroom and paid for most of that myself. I've laid tiled floors and I've put down carpets and I've painted the door and replaced the back door.
LL is never around anyway.
It's just every now and again something happens and you feel like you are nothing, and you have nothing, and your life belongs to someone else.
