Recycling causes the most litter here, it's really bad. We have stupid shallow open boxes to put stuff in and no one weighs it down so it blows everywhere, very few people pick it up again, well not their job is it? :hb: I pick up as much as I can and sometimes go for a walk with a bag and gloves so I can litter pick on the way. There's a fairly pleasant walk from here into town along a river but it's strewn with rubbish - litter and fly tipped stuff, so sad. There is a group of people who meet occasionally and have a clean up, I'm hoping to join in next time, a clean environment lifts the spirits, it's surprising how much grotty surroundings affect you.
 
We had a sofa and armchair dumped in a lay by just outside our village. What’s wrong with people, the council will collect it for peanuts if you ring them up and book a time for collection. It makes me so angry, nobody seems to care anymore. Councils should do more by using night cameras in lay boys that are frequented by fly tippers, it’s the long and costly process of taking these people to court that’s the problem, councils just don’t have the money available.

It’s that naughty neighbour who give extra treats too. Don’t feed it unless it’s your cat, the owner is responsible for feeding him

My neighbour has (had? Not seen her for ages and she was oooold) acat that would turn up for food. She would go home and vomit. They got her a collar with a tag saying “don’t feed me I have a home to go to”.
She ended up with 3 legs and no tail after a run in with a car and a tumour on her foot but she was about 20...
 
That's happened to me too. The other one is when you really only wanted one thing desperately which is too heavy to carry yourself so you make up an order to get the delivery. When the order arrives the thing you realy wanted was out of stock, and you've got a load of washing powder and toilet rolls etc to find storage for and you could have waited a couple of weeks before ordering. :hb:
 
When you let your tenants leave 8 months early (the contract runs until end August) as they have fallen out big time and are about to kill each other and they are arguing about £500 of deposit that you have charged them for cos of the state they have left your house in when you could legally have charged them 8 months rent!

I’d tell them if they what they could have ended up paying and to shut it!
 
Can I take a moment to scream “Why is Giardia treatments so crazy.?” Yay I love vet bills, my week is incomplete without at least 1.
 
@Pawz my boars were treated for giardia last year, pm me if you think I can help even if it's just for some support.

Make a copy of all your receipts and send them to the rescue! They shouldn't have adopted that kitten out when he was so poorly as has caused so much stress, illness and upset :rant:
 
My awful neighbour burning mattresses at the bottom of his garden (which joins to mine by a privit hedge and fence) he's been doing it for two days now (rolling them up with cans of hair spray inside so they explode)
He has this drink issue- starts in cans of Stella at 7:30 in the morning, everyday (whilst young kids are home, and God knows who else as there's always mainly women there) he does the school run with cans of alcohol, no one says anything. His garden is like a squat. He plays extremely loud rave music whenever he likes, smokes very strong cannabis joints which the smell wafts over whilst my children are playing outside so they have to come indoors. He is violent towards the kids (locks them out) has a horrific temper, and my local council won't investigate. Because I am the only one raising a complaint. 3 other people need to complain before they make a visit, and my other neighbours are scared of him.
Well so am I but, I have anxiety problems and all I got told was if the neighbours intimidate you, as for a registered move elsewhere. (In other words, I was here last so I have to go first).
It was so bad yesterday I actually had to spend the day at my parents until I needed to pick my daughter up from school. Then when we got home, she wanted to go on her trampoline (a big 10ft thing) she was happily bouncing away and the kids from the offending property started swearing at her (these boys are under 7 years old) and made her upset, so she came indoors.
I think it's unfair how the council refuse to do anything...
 
Sending you hugs @ThePiggieHouse. I know how hard difficult neighbours can be, we have some too. Despite several neighbours complaining the Council won't do anything, just keep saying we need to go to mediation and discuss our problems - yeah right! I ended up having tests for heart problems last year because they stressed me so much, we can't sit in the garden when they are outside (most of the time) I dread summer. The doctor at the hospital told me I should go to anger management classes, as if having my peace and privacy shattered is my fault.
 
How utterly horrible having to live with people like that around you. It’s about time Councils did something about these inconsiderate people, just “who is the vulnerable” people here! it makes me sick!
Can you ring the NSPCC if these children are being poorly treated. This man seems a monster, shouldn’t be near children.!
 
I have a similar prat living by me (I'm in a ground floor flat and he's above but next door) thankfully no kids involved.
Has music blaring all hours of the day (early hours his fave) and stink of cannabis constantly. Him and his mates thought it was hilarious to throw their beer bottles out of the window and my cat Daisy came in one day bleeding everywhere with glass in her paw (yup I knocked his door and gave him a gobful, wouldn't normally dare confront someone like that but was so angry!). He's been in and out of prison and somehow gets to keep the flat (council property).
Me and my next door neighbour have complained for years, filling out logs of what/when/times etc. But he continues to cause misery. I hate him so can understand how annoying it is.
Then my horrible cat hoarder weirdo next door the other side (who's had her 3 kids taken away by social services but continues to keep cats she doesn't look after!).
Some neighbours can be so horrible and you really don't know what to do, don't feel listened to at all! :cen:
 
As I write this I'm sat outside in my Piggie House, listening to the awful banging and horrific din of his equally awful kids and family/friends... the air stinks to high heaven on cannabis the kids are swearing and cussing, screaming and fighting and nothing is being said to reprimand them.
I've had eggs and large rocks thrown in the dark at my house, my piggies house and garden, no one will do anything. This twit, got his Rottweiler dog (Zeus) took away from him due to neglect and yet the kids get to stay?! I too dread summer... I dread every moment of sunshine cos they'll be out in their swamp of a garden (there is no grass just mud and filth, motorbikes, and associated paraphernalia) I could cry...
 
Just back from the hairdressers... not that you can tell cos she blow drys it wrong so have shoved it up on top of my head... well worth the £37!

Definitely, I got my decision for my PIP mandatory reconsideration this morning and still scored zero points so I could rant all over again about them. Now to go to tribunal :hb: funny how I was ill enough for it on the 10th of December but by the 11th, 20+ years of illness magically cured itself!
 
Feel for you @ThePiggieHouse, normally they will remove the children from the situation first but the dog must have been in an awful state if even removed. Poor kids :(
If you ring the police they can't do much other than give them a warning, takes a lot to get enough evidence when it's classed as just a 'nuisance'. No guns or knives just idiotic, horrible weirdos. Think that's what's so frustrating, you complain but it's not enough! So they get to stay and plague everyone around them!

Id love to pay the man a visit when I'm in one of my bad mood days😉.
 
The problem with bad neighbours in council housing is that if they are moved they are still the council's problem - just somewhere else and a new set of complaining neighbours. It's not in the interest of council's to do anything. I was told the agressive 6ft 4in man who let his agressive dogs lose, threw dogs mess at his scared elderly petite female neighbours, played loud music day and night etc etc was a vunerable adult and needed more help.

Well wouldn't it be lovely if it had? These people are idiots! You need extra help so you should get it.

Don't get me started... having been on DLA for let's say over 15 yrs... had to apply to PIP and I was no longer disabled... it's a miracle! I had my motability car ( as always used my allowance for a car ) removed ( well I ended up getting a loan to buy it from them- motability FAB all the way through!
I sent off the mandatory reconsideration stuff, but no I was still cured... so i said i would go to tribunal - the thought scared the crap out of me - but I thought NO ... then I receive a phone call from DWP saying we have looked at your new evidence and have changed the decision and was awarded the lower rate motability... FYI I submitted NO new evidence - sent the same info in ! Keep fighting and I wish you luck... it's so stressful x
