Neighbour is beginning to annoy me .

we moved away from neighbours from hell. It's a relief. I love our new house.

We have a garden , it's larger than the neighbours , but parallel to theirs .

Before we moved in the knocked down the fence so they could fit a giangantic trampoline in the back garden. It sort of took a few inches of my garden.

Had told neighbour that we will be replacing the fence in summer.

At new year party , neighbour pops in . And tells people we have a shared garden . Wtf ?. Now her crappy double swing set it half way into mine and blocking acces into my shed.

I've moved it back into her garden several times. Not only is it really annoying I have to walk around the damn thing to get into my shed , she has started talking about what we will do about our shared garden.

It's not a shared garden. It's two gardens that happen to have a fence missing because she broke it.

And her dog shits all over .

So I'm planning to get the fence rebuilt and have the garden landscaped and decked by may .I will not tell her , but just do it . Aibu ?

Ask her if you can borrow her strainer to rince your mince.

Strainer to rince mince ? ...think I missed that one .

Pombears , not distinctive enough.
Nice ham sandwich , loads of people like nice ham , not just mn .
Fanjo , couldn't keep a straight face saying that ...I'd be giggling like a 5 year old .

Think I'm going to go with manshape.

GET THE FENCE UP NOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!

Glad it sounds like it's sorted. Btw, many councils aren't responsible for fences between properties other than the first six foot of the boundary (ie, the first panel) so that might be why they won't pay up.

Still a bit confused about why you've spent so much money doing up the house when it's a council house, but hope it all works out for you. I wouldn't bet on that money from her for the fence until you've got it in your hand though!

I think i owe you an explanation as to why we have spent so much money on a council house .

Our dd4 is disabled , she has autism , global developmental delays , hypermobility and a growth disorder which means she is tiny . Shes 6 , but about the size of a 3 year old.

The house is situated on a bend , there are lots of cars in the area , and its a very very busy road . Often its impossible to park near to the house.

Given that walking , causes dd4 a lot of pain (on a bad day) , and that getting her safely into the house , as well as her impusive and often naughty twin brother and adhd older half brother (10) who often will bolt across roads without looking .

So for the safety of the 3 younger children , and the comfort of dd4 ,we decided it was a necessary expense.

This is also why the fencing is important to us ... dd4 should be able to play safely in a dog mess free garden , where she can be safe.

Hope that explains . Smile

ok she is not 'nice' she is not bonkers, on the contrary she has all her chairs at home, she knows exactly what she is doing and is taking advantage of your niceness.
Be absolutely clear on that

Glad this sounds like it's resolved, it's bad enough that the neighbours cats use my veg patch as their bathroom, I'd hate dogs to do similar.

I would casually ask her opinion on child and parent parking spaces at supermarkets. Not sure which opinion would indicate an mner, but an emphatic opinion at least.
