Storm Darragh has been and he has brought me….. a rattan footstool, presumably belonging to one of my neighbours.

He is trying his best to take our trampoline to give to someone else.

Has anyone had any nice gifts courtesy of Darragh?

A nice big bill to fix the entire fence that he has so kindly brought down for us.. Seems that we’ll be sharing a garden with our horrendous neighbours for a few days..

I’ve got an empty rubble sack.

is that the equivalent of coal?!

My neighbours 12 foot antenna has been delivered to my back garden. Luckily missed smashing my window by an inch or two.

A bumper haribo packet in my ornamental grasses, sadly empty!

My ex-mil was named Edna, if that’s who is coming next, be afraid, very afraid. That woman was a battle axe!

Not to mention Evil Edna of Will-the-wisp fame.

He's brought me a couple of pieces of my own gutter downpipe so that's great 😭

Thegreenandpurpleone · 07/12/2024 14:47

Ah we’ve been given two ridge tiles form
our own roof, which have come down in the past couple of hours. Hoping not to be delivered any more! ☹️

a cat litterbox that has blown off neighbour's 3rd floor balcony the umpteenth time now. how it (so far) never injured anyone is a miracle.

We’ve lost our food waste bin. Not sure how as I’m sure it had a bag of food waste in it and wouldn’t have made a mess if it had been whipped up by the wind. I also can’t see it anywhere down the road. A mystery!

There’s a food waste bin looking very sorry for itself and shivering down the road from me. Yours?

Darragh is working the local river up into a frenzy. It’s frothing like an angry Mumsnetter and I would imagine will burst its banks later today

A branch from my own tree if that counts ? It was against the bay window in the living room (where I sleep) at about 4am

Curious to know why you sleep In the living room

He finished the job that Bert started of dismantling and flattening my gazebo.

It's wheelie bin Armageddon out there. Terrible scenes.

A perspex sheet with building plans attached, including a ’Picasso room’. Interesting.

A neighbor at the bottom of the street decorates a tree in their front garden. Most of the neighbors now have a selection of these decorations in their front gardens. I’m not in any colour coded area. I should images if we were they would be several streets away now.

Sorry folks I've no idea what the the name of the next storm will be, I picked Edna out of the air. It is the right first letter, but should really be an Irish name. Eoife?

We seem to have acquired multiple recycling bins

I bet most don't have numbers on them. Number stickers cost £1 each.

My parents wanted me to go and meet up somewhere where car parking is non existent today as had a 30 min period of no rain. Erm, storms don't bring continuous rain.

Wagasista · 07/12/2024 15:02

A large piece of wood that’s pinged off the wall, that has one end of my washing line attached to it. I know for a fact, the washing line will forever remain on the floor now

£1 each? I wonder why people don't do thet rather than spraying their numbers on in massive sizes as if the refuse collectors might have terrible eye sight or something .

Yes.
And rubbish tipped over the drive, some unopened snicker bars also...😂

Also had individually wrapped, what looked like mints, lots of mints. Odd.

A selection of parcels from Amazon, half a large drain pipe, several recycling boxes and assorted recycling.

Why don't parents use pegs on the trampolines? It's more of a health n safety thing too when DC/DGC use it as may topple over

Seen a few recycle bins having a rave on the road.
