...I have lost the "emotional blackmail" war and so I shall be "helping" to clear the MIL's brambles & briar and overgrown stuff with a hedge trimmer tomorrow. Apparently I am the only person in the entire family that is able to wield a hedge-trimmer.
Her Son can't, his kids can't and my kids can't. While "Gardeners" are actually available for hire (and she certainly has the money to pay) the old bat is adamant she doesn't want strangers in the garden. I am fuming, but domestic harmony is more important.
I shall do my best to accidentally created a razed-earth situation so that I do not get asked again. :mad:

"Razed earth"!! Love that! Give the wretched thing a buzz cut!!!
 
Hi all!
I have been having fun.
Started WW3 on Nextdoor!
Some person reported that two cars drove onto his and his neighbours shared drive, he asked them what they wanted, they said they had a delivery for...and showed him a hand written envelope with the wrong name.
So he went off and watched them taking photos of his and his neighbour's doors before leaving.
He "described" them as "two black males" and then said they were "clowns".
I asked if "...their being black was a factor here? And were they polite?"

This of course unleashed a storm.
I let them get on with it before pointing out that he could have given fuller descriptions and that you wouldn't describe Laurel and Hardy as simply "two white males".
This is still raging and of course, I am in the wrong!!!!!

Love it!

Is it time to go and accidentally break the hedge trimmer? Or accidentally cut your arm off, they won’t ask again!! :vb-whip:
 
... that I was invaded by family and dinnertime got messed about.
Everyone got fed, but I had to do all the cooking (BBQ), wasn't expecting that at all.
It put me in a ratty mood a bit, but no harm done.
I like to be the host when I do the inviting. When people invite themselves and then expect me to run around doing all the work I get the hump.

On the plus side for today.
So, today was...
80 x 10 x 3
90 x 10 x 1
60 x 10 x 1

:D

Answer your door with a coat on, if it's someone you like say you have just got in and if it's someone you hate say Ur away out and can't talk.

Been thinking about this.
You mention yourself among, what, at least 5 other people that could do the job?
How about saying, "Well, as there are 6 of us who can/will be doing this, I'll do the first 6th and leave the rest to the rest!"

OR........ "OK my rate is a reasonable £15 an hour Gran, when would you like me to come round since you don't want to pay a stranger?!";)
