Bit of background. We have a very tense relationship with the lady next door going back a long way. She is an absolute nightmare .. A real neighbour from hell but we try to keep things civil to avoid escalation of any situation as has happened previously, ie things like not allowing her to attach her extension to our wall as it would mean that her extension would be in our garden and not agreeing to move the fence so that she could gain 2 feet of our garden, resulted in night after night of music blaring till 3am, police being called etc and many many other rediculous situations over the years. The fence in between our properties blew down last week with the high winds. It is a double fence meaning she has hers and we erected a new fence alongside as she stated she owned the original fence and wouldn't allow us to paint 'our' side to match the others. So her fence blew down bringing our fence down with it. she refused to erect another fence unless we paid half so we agreed to keep the peace, however we did state very very clearly that we could not pay half this month and it would have to wait till March as we have just had a huge bill for our car and have no spare this month. All agreed but I have come home to find new fence has been put up and an letter from the fencer through the door saying he will call this evening for payment. We don't have the money and I'm furious that she went ahead anyway. I have no idea what to do as I cannot produce £300 by tonight. I'm actually quite scared of confronting her and am waiting for my husband to come home but he won't be in till 7 and I don't want to just fob the poor man off who thinks he's getting paid tonight.
