Have been living here about 5 months now, and neighbour to the right of me has been very welcoming and friendly, although a little too much so at times, if i'm honest. I've had to take to putting the latch on the door when i'm in as she was just walking in without knocking - and i'm just not used to that, tbh.
Have also had to put a front gate up to get to my part of the house as her dog kept coming in and poohing in my garden meaning that ds couldn't go out and play as often as he liked. Not one for confrontation much, but when i questioned her about the dog all she said was...'oh it's not my dog that's doing it' I juist left it at that and a friend came and helped me build a gate which means that her ndog now shits in her own garden
Anyways, today i've been busy in the house a lot, and i could hear her pottering out the back - our houses are joined by the upstairs only, theres a small alleyway running between our kitchens, leading to both our back gardens, i have a gate on mine which is always latched so the boy cant get out - anyways, she's just knocked on my back door and asked what did i think - she's only cut down the privet hedges that divide our proprty from each other!!! She said that she wasn't getting enough sunlight, and now she will!!
I am so annoyed. My back garden is far from perfect - it needs a lot of work doing to it, but i loved the high privet as it gave me a sense of privacy and 'my own place in the world'. Now i'm going to have her dog coming in and shitting all over the place, and i'm not sure about letting ds play out the back as i'm worried he'd wander as he's really inquisitve. I can't afford to get fence panels to put up either.
I'm going to have to say something, aren't i?
