evening all....sad news about Liverpool. and interesting news about building regs, Its useful to know these things
tonight is Game of thrones night.....its dreadful but.....sort of interesting. Now it looks like I have 2 jobs........one is much closer, so I am going to have to gently tell the other place that Im not going to be able to stay. Im awful at doing things like this, as I hate feeling like im letting anyone down, but.....I need to be sensible for myself, and think of things like the price of petrol...... I just need to do it....... ![]() I wish we had Sky to watch Game of Thrones. First series was on a Freeview Channel but I came in mid-way through the series. I am now addicted to Border Control/Security - very interesting - Australia and Canada seem much tougher than the UK. |

Morning all.
Hope everyone is well. Have cancelled my trip to London tomorrow. Don't want the hassle of trying to get places. Will have lunch with a friend and then go to the garden centre with her. We have an Arts Trail this weekend so will be going with a friend. Hopefully my o/h will want to go to the Glassblowers on Sunday. Well, must get going. Taking another friend out to lunch for her birthday and must do some housework before I go. |

They are the new thing and they can be used for all sorts of things in addition to using for sickness - floor washing, catching drips, soaking filthy clothes, using for bread to prove, planting tulips and broad beans, emptying bath water etc etc. The list goes on. Ginger beer or ginger cubes (with sugar) in the baking section of supermarket are great for bad tummies - as is mint! Also rice with a little of the water left in it (old remedies which have worked for me). Hope everyone feels better soon Lots of lovexxxx |

Georgy
I would have a look at the planning application and conditions (should be available online). Did you object to the original application? You really must keep a diary too of when they start and stop work. I cannot believe that your council will allow work to start at 7 am - you need to find out from the council The difficulty is that this may start a precedent and other houses will be able to extend increasing plot density. Think you and your neighbours should make pains of yourself and call the council and the HSE (dust and noise). You must keep a diary of start and stop times. You must also complain (both by telephone and in writing) to the council about the dust - it can exacerbate asthma etc. When we had a huge development being built my asthma got so bad I was hospitalized twice. I got compensation and the builders had to do special measures to minimize dust. It was a nightmare. I wish you luck - and do find out the working hours. One final thing - did anyone object to the development? the house will look nice and sit well in a very large plot, its just the working hours the road committee has had a word with them, but i think i will keep a record as you suggested, they seem to be stretching the times, that they are allowed to work a bit and you were right they can only work until 1 on a Sat, still not ideal, but so much better than all day. thanks for you help nyannie |

Absolutely agree with you - it took my neighbour 2 hours to walk to work from the train station - she couldn't get on a bus and she couldn't get a cab. Glad I cancelled. She is now walking back to the train station and I am off to feed her dog as she doesn't know what time she will get home. . .
what a pain it is for her and everyone

Sickness can be horrible, hope you all end up feeling ok...
I don't know how I feel about the tube strikes.....luckily it doesn't affect me, and I don't really know why they are doing it in any case? Was it a beautiful sunny day where you were? It was here and its amazing how sunshine can lift your spirits... |

They have boarded the whole plot up, no real objections to the development, we are a private road, and they have followed all planning and road rules,
the house will look nice and sit well in a very large plot, its just the working hours the road committee has had a word with them, but i think i will keep a record as you suggested, they seem to be stretching the times, that they are allowed to work a bit and you were right they can only work until 1 on a Sat, still not ideal, but so much better than all day. thanks for you help nyannie You are very welcome. I still can't believe that they can start work at 7 am though. They are also not allowed to work Bank Holidays. Very good idea to keep a diary. Even if it is 5 minutes longer, you should complain. Also monitor dust etc. My asthma was so bad during the building works across the road - I got compensation. Go straight to your district/borough council as parish councils can't do anything about it. Off to see Nether Winchendon today - have to catch a train a bit later. Have a lovely day all. |

so we are back to the rain....well the garden was getting just a little bit dry!!
I see the forecast is miserable for the entire weekend? We wanted to go out to Kentwell Hall at the weekend, we will just have to see what the weather is like.The gas fireplace man is due to come tomorrow to discuss replacing the gas fire....how much will this cost us? I hope you get the roofers sorted out ok nyannie. So somehow Peaches Geldof seems to have been just like her mum and died from some kind of heroin overdose/complications...which is just so dreadfully sad. I used to really like Paula Yates, who was so funny on TV and the Big Breakfast, and thought she died far too young. addiction/recreational drugs are just so scary.... |

I imagine a rugby scrum at 7am when the doors open is the only answer. ![]() Hope the weather is ok wherever you all are this weekend, sun is shining down here barely a cloud in the sky. Have a good one everybody.

Afternoon all.
Just got back from the local Arts Trail - so many talented people. Weather glorious so my friend and I had a cup of tea in an artist's garden. Fabulous. Need to pot up some plants that just arrived - and plant out some new ones. Also need to sort out wills and tidy up the study - which looks like a hurricane hit it. Hope everyone has a great weekend. |

its odd how the siege mentality seems to hit at bank holidays........I need to really reduce the amount I buy at the shops, I go through phases.......at times I can be quite sensible and just buy what I need, and then at other times, I tend to be the one buying things just in case and ending up with far too much food, which I then end up just throwing out...
its ridiculous We went to see a local theatre version of Blood brothers , yesterday with most of the cast from the west end show, and it was brilliant, however a bit spoilt by the sound quality. Ipswich Regent theatre is in an old converted cinema, and the sound quality isn't that good in there, the building itself tends to distort everything.... ![]() and I think I have found out, after grass cutting, that I have become increasing allergic to grass, my arms where I emptied out the grass box are covered in a rash......not much fun.....I think I need a special lotion? have a lovely weekend everyone xx |
