No I mean it! Apart from dd of course! A few weeks ago we removed these large 'cattle-shed' type gates from our back garden and replaced them with iron railings, thinking that no-one ever goes down the back of the houses and we're not overlooked. However since doing this we have been invaded by swarms of kids! They are there first thing in the morning, goggling at me whilst I have my breakfast, swinging off the railings, throwing things over, etc. If I take dd out, they mither all the time, "Can we come and play with her? What are you doing? We can see in your house. We're hungry. Can we have a drink? Can we pick some of your flowers?" I can't enjoy my garden at all now without at least six pairs of eyes watching me.
Do they have no homes to go to? Am I to be subjected to this now for the whole of the summer? If we have a BBQ it will be horrendous, I can see it now; "Can we have a burger? Pleeeease can we come in? We're so hungry! What are you cooking? Can we help?" I've half a mind to get myself a very large water gun! Or I could electrify the fence......
There, moan over.
