EO, having 2 neighbours who don't keep in trim, mainly because they can't be bothered, parts of my garden are very dark or windows overgrown. I end up trimming their trees for them
Now if your trees are all 10ft and don't impinge on your neighbours light then good on you , if they aren't be a good neighbour and trim them please!
I dont mean to be cruel and heartless and evil. But I nearly peed myself laughing last night.
We have this next door neighbour right. She is a cyber bitch from hell, with a pursed up mouth like a cats bum. Her lawn is pristine, she brushes it three times a day with a yard brush. She's always moaning about our 'butterfly sanctuary' garden, and always offering me advice on how to trim my trees back etc.
Plus she stoolied on me when our alarm went off when we were on hols.
Anyways, about six months ago, the neighbour on the other side had a lorry load of bricks delivered, and since then, the street has been like a builders yard. her lawn was a mess, her flower bed got a bit of trampling and she was out six times a day with her brush. Last week the house renovation/conservatory was finished and everything went back to normal.
last night a lorry turned up, and delivered a pile of bricks to the house opposite her
I love stories like this.
Similar thing happened down our road a few years ago. There was retired snobby couple who's garden was their pride and joy. As children we called it the "garden of no returns", if your ball went in it never came out!
Well anyway the house next door to them was having their driveway block paved and they had ordered a couple of those ton sand bags and advised the company who delivered them to leave them on the front garden so they could take up the old drive and start work.
I'm sure you can imagine what happened........... The hapless delivery man proceed to put the 2 rather large sand bags in the garden of no return and drive off! Obviously due to the weight these couldn't simply be moved in a hurry and to cut a long story short completely ruined the garden and the relationship between the 2 neighbours.
Best part was that quite a few of the neighbours saw the whole episode unfold but decided to allow the workman to carry on dumping the sand. Ahhhh the joy of good neighbours. On the plus side the block paved drive looked great with an immaculate lawn to match.
Not heard that one. Does it mean she dobbed you in, or she didn't tell you it had gone off?
dobbed me in yes.
fair do's, but she tried to blame someone else.
I took her a bottle of wine as an apology for the disturbance, and she said, 'look, about your trees, would you mind cutting them all down'
