Hi everyone I have been fuming this evening!!
I came home from school to find that my neighbour had mutilated a big shrub I have in my garden!
I know she has the right to cut back any over hangs to the line of the fence, but she had cut it 'down' to about half its size 3 feet into my garden!
She has had every opportunity to knock on my door and ask me to do something about it if she had a problem, but not a word, and she made sure I did it when I was in work.
I was planning on getting it professionally done at half term but it's the just the fact she didn't even have the courtesy to speak to me.
So I gave her a piece of my mind! First time we've spoken in 3 years!
Grrrrrrr!!

Time to play the piano at four in the morning, I think.
Nasty neighbour, sorry this happened, the sneak must have known you were out at work.

Oh yes she knows alright! I told her how gutless it was to do it while I was in work!!
We have had this problem before - she knows exactly what she's doing!
I do joke about playing the piano but I don't play it unless I know they are out, and then only quietly.

I am actually so quiet I have to put the TV or music on to drown out their more 'intimate' moments.
I have told her that if she touches anything of mine without permission again I will take legal action.
I think she was quite shocked because I have never lost my temper with her before.

I'm. It sure if they ship calendars out of the U.S. I will find out though.

@Josh, can calendars be shipped to other countries, like the UK?
Thanks for that.
If not maybe we should look into doing a UK version - without the contest.
Not sure how though - maybe use Publisher and just put something together we can cut and paste pics onto and make it available to download.
Either way would be nice.

If not, you could always do a calendar of just your own tort. There are lots of places online that does them fairly cheap. Not sure they ship out of the country, but I'm sure some do. The calendars of mthe contest get sent by mail, so I really don't know why they couldn't be sent. Just might take longer then someone in the U.S.
