I'd better not watch it. My nerves have been all over the place since pregnancy. I could cry watching an ad! :eek:

Our children used to mock our moist eyed moments. (Avoid the musical Whistle Down The Wind)

And then Toy Story 3 was released... they were the Toy Story generation. They grew up with it and then, when they were heading to university, Andy did too and donated his toys to a little girl. My kids were a blubbing mess.. so funny as a parent :D

Good afternoon/morning all on the first day of my long holiday!!
Hope everyone is having as good a Monday as possible.
It's quite overcast here today but I'm happy with that.:)

i've been pottering about in the garden and discovered that my neighbours have been reaching over the boundary fence and removed half my holly tree!:mad:
They haven't put put their 6 foot fence panels back up yet so there's only the old 4 foot fence between us.
I only trimmed the holly back from the boundary last week but they have really chopped it about while I was out yesterday.
Apart from the lack of respect for me and my property what they have done is actually classed as criminal damage in garden law.
I've taken pics and considering asking the local community police officer to have a word.
They really are selfish, inconsiderate people.

It's always Bambi that gets me!
Even though I've seen it so many times with different nephews, nieces or the kids in school, and know what's coming, there's always something in my eye when the sad bit comes.

Oh, that's not nice. But then, nice is not your neighbors' strongest suit... I'm surprised they did it without telling you. Idiots.

They never tell me and always do things when I'm in work or out so that I can't stop them.
They've even taken things from my garden - only junk - but my junk.
I wouldn't dream of doing that!
I hoped they would move when she remarried, but no just moved her second ignorant oaf in.
It's a good job I have some other lovely neighbours to make up for it.

I shouldn't tell you about a Russian/Soviet cartoon in which a cute baby mammoth wakes up from its hibernation---in our days and goes searching for his mother... That one scarred me even as a child, when my nervous system was still OK, even though it had something of a happy end---I guess...
