The balls stoating off a wall may seem trivial to some but as a person who had to endure it... I sympathise.
"what harm are the kids doing kicking a ball off a wall?" .. I tell you it can drive you to distraction. Go bounce that bastard ball off your parents or grandparents house for hours on end. They will soon be wanting to maim you for life.
I'm going to sound very patronising and I apologize .
Welcome to "Being Grown Up" where you worry about refuse uplifts and if you can pay the utility bills never mind anything else.
Lexy I think you can come grump anytime you want.”
Oh my, don't even get me started. It's exactly the point, I say if you wouldn't want kids doing it to you, then don't blooming well let 'em do it to other people. What on Earth makes you think they enjoy it or are more tolerant of it than you. It's the exact same thickness of wall, its just as loud... lol. I tell you what though they wont be so unbothered by their kids behaviour when I send them the bill for the damage they did to my door the other day, knocked it out of the door frame a little. If they continue to be so badly behaved and inconsiderate then I might just have to *looks grumpy and evil* No, I wouldn't really.. not unless they did some serious damage I couldn't fix lol!
I was never allowed to do cr@p like that! It's honestly amazing how kids are allowed to run riot. One of the kids on my street asked me if they could come into my house... never seen them before in my life... I could have been a rapiest into little black boys (which they were) but they had no inhibitions about it at all!
In other grumpy news, why did my husband have to leave the heating on all night after I fell asleep??????????????? LOL It's like a blooming sauna in here *sobs* and the amount of money it's wasted

oh oh I have more lol I really am grumpy!
So my next door neighbours complained to the council about my garden instead of talking about it like civalised people with me. *smiles* nice thanks for that to start with.
Now the council wrote me a really nice letter, saying it was unacceptable and attracting rats. (where these rats were I don't know, because I own pet rats so I'm not afraid of them but I have seen no rats lol) Fine whatever, So, I look up what days what bins are going out on, wed green bin, wed black bin, wed green bin. That is the two week period that the council left me with....ONE BLACK BIN COLLECTION are you kidding me. I've got to clear 6 black bags of waste, from my garden, in two weeks, with that bin collection :/ (and no car) ARGH. I'm so lucky, my mother is a saint sent from heaven, came in her super duper car and took most of it to the dump! But for goodness sake, do they not think about these things before they send letters out? I think the term is common sense, and it's obviously something that as soon as you get a job with the council or become elected, you almost forget you had! (No offence to anyone who is a civil servant, if you can explain it please feel free, I'd love to have a better understanding!)
hope you are all well <3 lexy xx
